This tells me that the message was delivered over BITNET to PUCC,
implying that LISTSERV@PUCC received a "distribute-job" from [log in to unmask]
Then LISTSERV@PUCC sent E-mail to MAILER@PUCC, and MAILER@PUCC sent E-mail
to SMTP@PUCC, and SMTP@PUCC delivered it to [log in to unmask],
and GateKeeper delivered it to HQsun1.US.Oracle.COM, where Richard read it.
 
I'll bet that **every** piece of E-mail from LSTOWN-L to Richard
has slight-variants on the above header-lines!
 
Notice that these headers give absolutely **no** information on how
the "forgery" reached the location [log in to unmask]
 
So, if you did check the logs at Princeton, you could verify that
LISTSERV@INDYCMS did send E-mail to LISTSERV@PUCC, but you'd be no closer
to finding the ID of the "forger".  You'd have to check the logs written
by LISTSERV@INDYCMS, MAILER@INDYCMS, and [log in to unmask]
