But while it's ignoring multiple prefixes can Pegasus at the same
time break threading when the subject changes? In the effort to
tidy up the newsgroup, there's the rub. Some mailers/newsreaders
can. Dialog cannot not, natively anyway.

I'm beginning to think, though, that the multiplying of prefixes
is due to the mail-news gateway at gmane.org. Today I noticed a
post from a Mozilla client do it, and I don't think that's native
to the client.

More weight toward adding a proxy utility that will make the
necessary corrections. That would solve the problem for me, but I
wish it could be solved for everyone, for the group's sake.
