It's not a plain text message. Looking at the headers for the original
post shows:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
which is probably where the problem comes from since it doesn't appear
on ANY other message in ANY newsgroup I visit, and that must be a
"problem" with the original person's newsreader, not mine.
