(on parentheses)  No.  slrn doesn't post format;  it will complain about
technical netiquette (if configured), but otherwise just accept whatever
is '.article' or '.followup'.  Sure, elaborate schemes can be
implemented (it's scriptable after all, so to speak (from experience)).
But I don't think that's what has happened.

Speculation.  What is present is result of (1) type some letters in
'ed';  (2) '%p';  (3) copy-paste result to whatever slrn (that's
debatable) has picked as 'editor';  (4) post that marvel to Usenet.

Elaborate line-wrapping comes from interfering terminal -- it wraps
lines hard instead of being intelligent about it.

And speaking of terminals.  There's that long forgotten saying:  "Put
the Subject of Your Message in the Subject of Your Message".  Fscked up
encodings?  In the day and age?  We all gonna die.
