   It should be posted now.....  the problem was that your posting had a
   blank references line, and that caused the system to choke.  I deleted
   the blank References: header line, and the news system accepted the
   posting just fine.

Saying that the problem was "a blank references line" is a bit vague;
in fact, the problem was not that the References: line had no message
IDs in it, but rather that the space after the colon was missing.  The
software would have had no trouble with "References: ".
