Why is your References header missing?

Same reason I'm posting this TOFU-style

I'll have to poke around, but I'm using Google Groups as my posting/reading interface. I assume that for some damned-ass reason GG is very casual about references headers, which probably goes nicely with it's default no-quoted-text-in-replies setting.

The worst of it is I don't see any of these problems: everything just works inside of GG, so you just come off as a bunch of curmudgeons who won't get with the program and read Usenet through a bizarre non-standard web interface that conflates Usenet and mailing lists, and perverts postings for its own reasons.

I'll look into it further,

Works for other people. There were no line breaks either in your post.

I'm having no trouble with Ryan's posts. Well, except for
understanding what the hell he's talking about.

IAWTP. Ryan is the only one posting here whose text doesn't wrap. I
would upgrade my newsreader, which would likely solve he problem, but
none of the goldarned newfangled programs with all their jimcracker
fooforall nonsense run on kerosene like my current one, and I am not
going to give up my kerosene-powered newsreader.

Yes. And many use google groups. I speculate it has
something to do with the web browser. Ryan, your
User-Agent line says "G2/1.0", which is a little inscrutable.
It might mean Google Groups, but for most users of GG,
the User-Agent field is the web browser.
Are you posting to rbr from a phone or mobile device?
Could you be getting a mobile version of GGroups that behaves
differently than others? Or maybe it's just that your
browser handles wrapping in text boxes in some way that
mangles GGroups' attempted wrapping?
If you're using some funny web browser, try posting
to rbr from Firefox and see if it behaves the same way.

Does Xnews not have a "Reformat" utility?

Ryan's posts don't wrap here, but it just requires a simple "W w" to
make them behave. (gnus is in use here).

Perhaps you're not using a threaded newsreader. If you do you'll find
each of his posts becomes a new subject.

I'm using Google Groups as well. Maybe Google's gibberish makes sense
to Google?

Kerosene! Luxury. I'm pedaling as fast as I can just to
keep up. Fortunately, my flywheel powered newsreader puts
out more power than I can.
