only by going back and forth between windows and linux manually deleteing
the cunt-hatch line (i dont have a dos compress program) i have found an
faq on the internals of uucp, i will try to upload it to john's board with
this packet as uucp.txt. i also have a debug log of one of my seesions with
you, when i have time (possibly tomorrow) i'll anotate it and post it, it
shows the protocol quite well.

btw, if you do a "man rmail" in linux, it explains "#!
cunbatch", i'd post it for bob, but i dont know how to get a man page
into a text file.

as far as i can tell, uucp mail is sent uncompressed, but news is
compressed, it looks like the program i am using thinks that it is getting
mail (dumb russians!)
