     |N|                                                              |N|
     |T| TO USERS OF MNGR AND MNGA                                    |T|
     | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                    | |
     | | As you know, the off-line processing features of MNGR and    | |
     |H| MNGA are dependent upon a certain format of news group       |H|
     |I| messages as they arrive at your node.                        |I|
     |N|                                                              |N|
     |T| Recently, I have found that some messages originating in New |T|
     | | Zealand have such long 'From' lines that the 'Subject' line  | |
     | | is forced from its normal fourth line to the fifth and       | |
     |H| sometimes sixth line. MNGR will hiccup if the 'Subject' line |H|
     |I| is not the forth line of a message. MNGA has a built in      |I|
     |N| warning if this occurs.                                      |N|
     |T|                                                              |T|
     | | If this is happening to you, a quick fix is to do a 'Find'   | |
     | | on '.nz' (part of the New Zealand originating address) and   | |
     |H| if you see the 'Subject' line out of position, just delete   |H|
     |I| the excess characters from the 'From' line till the          |I|
     |N| 'Subject' line is in correct position. It will only take a   |N|
     |T| few moments to adjust your captured news group messages.     |T|
     | | Then processing by the MAGIC NEWS GROUP ARRANGER and/or      | |
     | | MAGIC NEWS GROUP READER will flow smoothly.                  | |
     |H|                                                              |H|
