  Warp, pretty sure this was fixed in v3.1d. My v3.1g reports max trace
level correctly after each render.

p.s. - hope this article posts correctly because for some reason Agent was
having a problem with which group to reply to.

This bug is known and will be fixed in POV-Ray 3.5.

  Sorry, I didn't realize that...
  The reason is that I haven't updated my winpov to 3.1g. The non-friendly
installation ("wipe out completely old povray and install the new on"-style)
is discouraging.

Warp, this one is for you, but I am using Agent, too, and I am having
the same problem. The Followup-to field of your post is empty and this
makes my (And Alan's) newsreader clear the "Post to which newsgroup?"
field. Please check out what your news client is up to :)

At least it's not the Microsoft "reformat the hard-drive" standard solution.

  I thought that might be the case. Now that you mention it I remember the
discussion about losing your 'good' settings during a new install.

  So that's what it is <s>. I glanced at the full header on Warp's posted
article and compared it to an earlier post but missed the empty field. I
thought I broke Agent :) Thanks for the enlightenment, Peter.

  Oops, sorry. I didn't think that it would harm anyone.
  With this new version of tin there's an option to put an empty followup-to
line in the header of the article. I thought that it could be handy because
sometimes I want to redirect the followups to another newsgroup but I never
remember the exact syntax of that line, so I thought that having the empty
line there would help when needed.
  I didn't think that it would actually cause harm to some other newsreaders.
  I turned it off.
