While posting a followup article to a different newgroup (comp.sys.amiga to be exact) our inews program reported the following error (after typing ``send'' at the final pnews prompt) inews: Article rejected: groo included more text than new text Apparently, I had more quoted text in my article (distriubtion: world) than text that I myself had typed. The problem was easily solved, simply changing the quote character from ``>'' to ``]'' fixed it. However, why is this restriction imposed? It's a common enough occurance, and I believe I actually seen it happen with the normal quote character (``>'') still in place. Therefore, my question becomes: Under what circumstances must text that you add out weigh text that is included for inews not to complain? Does it have to do with the distribution as well? Is there a way to set up the news system so that this doesn't occur (short of hacking the source)? Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup to ask this on, but its the only one that my site carries that's close. -- Bill Squier - Stevens Inst. of Tech | // "Only Amiga makes it possible" Bitnet: u93_wsquier@stevens | \X/ Internet: u93_wsquier@vaxc.stevens-tech.edu Temporary Inet (Please use until Jan. 13): ...uunet!tronsbox!dsoft!groo
