I hate responding to my own posts.. :-)

The problem is in the news article itself.  There is a ctrl-m inside
the refrences line.. obviously a bad header.  Shouldn't this be handled
by inn or the overview system though?  I don't want to refuse articles
with bad refrences lines, but would like the mangled line to be deleted
before being processed.  Any way to do this?
