Heck...there's an easier way than that..just open a new message and type
Katy needs a bigger dink into the Subject, copy and paste what you're
replying to into the message, and start over...

For some reason I can't reply to Katy's posts. I get the below error
message. Can anybody tell me why?

TIA, Scotty



Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject ' Katy get a
bigger dink', Account: 'News.Individual.NET', Server:
'News.Individual.NET', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '441 Line 4
too long', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error
Number: 0x800CCCA9

The following instructions aren't as complicated as they look.

Here is how you can reply to the message:

1. Highlight Katy's message.

2. Click "File" - "Save as" ... and choose Desktop as the directory.
(Desktop should appear in the drop down list)

3. Shrink all open windows so that you can see the desktop.

4. Right click the document called "Re_ Katy get a bigger dink.nws"

5. Choose "Open with" - "wordpad".

6. You will see a line near the top that starts with the word "References:
"
This is probably the line that is causing the problem. This line
consists of a
bunch of references to previous posts. Each reference begins
with a "" and ends with a "". Delete the first couple of
references.

7. "File"-"Save".. and close wordpad.

8. Double click the document called "Re_ Katy get a bigger dink.nws"

9. Click the "Reply" button" and everything should work as normal.

Women, eh? Sometimes I wonder if they are really worth all the trouble!!
