Now it's doing it to Moorons posts.
If I hit ''properties'' , I now see ''line 4'' (references) is way
long.
But, I can't delete them.

There is no 'open with- WP' option. I'm using Win-95.

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!!
