It's always the same error IME, "Error 441, line 3 too long" or something
similar. It seems to occur when the thread has been going for a long time
and I've already contributed quite a lot of posts too it. I take as a
hint
that maybe it's time to start a new thread


"This error message occurs when you reply to a deep thread in
newsgroups. Line 3 is the References header. It contains the message ID
of every message in the thread. When this line becomes too long,
Outlook Express adds a carriage return instead of removing some of the
IDs in the middle. This makes the last message ID invalid and so your
reply is blocked from being sent."


That's good to know, Ken - thanks for posting!
