In trying to use inews (BNews 2.11) to post a text file, I keep getting "inbound news is garbled" errors. The files are clean text... can anyone shed some light on what it might be that's causing the problem? -- Adopt a Marine Pen-Pal today!

If you're sending the file with a newsreader (nn, trn, rn, etc..) or with Pnews, postnews, nnpost... they must format the file with all the necessary headers, if you're doing this and don't works you must tell your system administrator to fix that programs. Now, if you're trying to send the text file directly with the rnews or inews -p program, you must be sure to include all the necessary headers in your text file. -- Juan Gabriel Ruiz Pinto Internet: Ing.
