Actually, he did respond (it just seemed like I was getting ignored
because our news-server was down for a week).  This was his response:
 
Once upon a time, I asked about a bug in trn not building appropriate
headers.  This was the reply I got......

So apparently it isn't trn directly that is messing up.  At any rate,
I have simply taken to sending his reply to the news administrator at
the site of the offending post.   Sorry for wasting LMAIL's time with
all this......
