Hi Marco,

> Does anybody know why this message is in the "control" newsgroup on E-S?

I bet it is because of the following header fields:


> Control: reassign -1 vtk9
> Control: affects -1 opm-grid
> Control: tags -1 -ftbfs

During the gatewaying, they should be rewritten to X-Control header 
fields.  Otherwise, a news server may think they are control articles.

I've just checked the mailpost program shipped with INN to gateway 
mailing-lists, and it normally does that.  I assume eternal-september 
uses a custom script.
