Details
This is another problem brought up by the Good Netkeeping Seal of Approval
evaluation (see URL above).
When building the References header for outgoing news messages, we're supposed
to find invalid elements in the References list and drop them on the floor. The
requirement seems to be that the msg-id have the form <stuff@stuff>

JF, is this more a compose bug, or more a news bug (for sspitzer)?

Bumping out for now...
Seth: I think the issue is this:
7e Fails to omit `broken' Message-IDs.
How can you tell if its invalid or not?
Bumping way out...this is fine tuning.
- rhp
I believe this is cross platform? I'm going to change platform/OS from PC/WinNT
to All.

The gnksa.org website contains a small perl script that checks for malformed
references. It may be a useful reference. http://www.gnksa.org/restrict-refs.pl

That Perl script contains three different methods of weeding out bad references
(the first two are commented out):
Relatively permissive:
@refs = grep {/^<.+>$/} split /\s+/, $refs;
Relatively strict:
@refs = grep {/^<[^<>\@\s]+\@\S+\.\S+>$/} split /\s+/, $refs;
Very strict (RFC 1036bis):
@refs = grep {/^<[^<>!,;:\\\@\"\s]+\@\S+\.\S+>$/} split /\s+/, $refs;

The NetNews RFC got revised since, what is needed now is conformance with https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5536#section-3.2.10 that did take in account GNSKA.
