ANNOUNCE: more bug fixes

[Julian Field]

I have just done some more testing and it is indeed still not behaving
itself. I think I've been staring at this too long!

I have also found a little problem in what the report messages say that the
scanner produced. It will take out "." characters from the reports, and not
properly remove the message id from the path.

I'll issue -8 before I go to bed (now 10:15pm here).
