dupe messages from -newbies

[Ian Smith]

Sorry OT, but I believe I can see the problem with messages being duped
back from -newbies (even when they're not being posted to there!) that
was happening last week on another thread, similarly.

This message was indeed crossposted to -current and -newbies.  Just the
one copy appeared here in -questions, as you'd expect.

The second (dupe) of each of those above was appended with a -newbies
trailer, as if somehow messages to -newbies are being automatically
posted back into -questions?  I'll just quote one (shortest) example,
which going by the short headers listed in -questions-digest, was not
crossposted to -newbies .. and even if it had been, why's it here?

Cheers, Ian
