I erroneously reversed the order of filenames in my previous patch posting.
The patch is the same, but here's a new context diff with the files listed in
the proper order:
 
*** newsremclient.c;181
--- newsremclient.c;182
**************
*** 1235,1241
                if (cp = strchr(ibuf,'\n')) *cp = '\0';
                if (cp = strchr(ibuf,'>')) {
                  cp += 2;
!                 util_fromcpy(irecheck->itmtitle,cp);
                  }
                }
              }
--- 1235,1241 -----
                if (cp = strchr(ibuf,'\n')) *cp = '\0';
                if (cp = strchr(ibuf,'>')) {
                  cp += 2;
!                 util_fromcpy(irecheck->itmfrom,cp);
                  }
                }
              }
 
Sorry for any confusion my first posting may have caused.
 
Sincerely,
 
Greg Smith
