I've developed a patch for this; there's probably a better way, as I'm not a
C++ hacker, but this seems to work okay.  The Gnome bugzilla is down ATM, so
here's the patch in case anyone wants it now:

<     static const StringView moderated ("moderated");
<     static const StringView d ("d");
---
>     StringView myline, long_token_one, long_token_two;
74,76c73
<     StringView myline, long_token;
< 
<     // find the long token -- use the last, unless that's "moderated" or "d"
---
>       // pop off the last two tokens
78,80c75,77
<     myline.pop_last_token (long_token, '.');
<     if (!myline.empty() && (long_token==moderated || long_token==d))
<       myline.pop_last_token (long_token, '.');
---

<       out.insert (out.end(), tok.begin(), (tok==long_token ? tok.end() : 
tok.begin()+1));
---

(Hopefully that won't be mangled too badly by anyone's newsreader or mail
client.)
