I'm CC'ing this to the list again because your server is still
returning my emails with a singularly unhelpful 554 error.

It's a bug. I have a few other small bugs to deal with, so I'll
wrap this up with them when I commit the changes and put the bugfix
release on the mom website, which should be within a day or two.
Meantime, you can replace the NEWPAGE macro definition with the one
below, either by updating your om.tmac or by putting the definition
in a file and adding
.rm NEWPAGE
.so <file>
to the top of your file.
.MAC NEWPAGE END
