I didn't see those headers, but even though the message you sent to the
list seemed to have gone through a few hops, it seemed to have touched only
two networks: skanova.net and mit.edu, so in a sense it was "straight
routing". You'd think they have a common mail server configuration policy
on a network (allowing to call a network "one hop" in this context)... but
maybe not.

BTW, whoever has those problems: gmane.org gets a direct feed (that's
really only one hop) from MIT. And it had the full 360 character line.

Have you actually seen 80 char lines truncated?
