Well, that one did, I'm getting the following error:

(crud, I can't cut and paste so I'll try and re-type it)
Outlook Express  could not post the message 'Re: stuff (was: Art Debate Was:
[Re: Swearing?])' to Lego Users Group. The server responded '441
defhdrs.awk: no Subject: header!'.

When I try and reply to:

Xref: lugnet.com lugnet.off-topic.debate:3873

I got this message even when I reduced the Subject down to just "Re: stuff".

Here are the full headers from the message I attempted to post:

I get the same error when I try and respond via the web interface:

Notes:

Your message was not accepted.
Response from the news server:
441 defhdrs.awk: no Subject: header!

Ok, I see the problem, there is a munged reference (in the edit window for
this message, the references are highlighted except for one, which happens
to be missing the ">" which makes it real obvious where the problem is.

I'm not sure what's going on, I just got a message "no Subject header" or something like that (sorry, don't still have the window open to copy from). Lets see if this post gets through Frank (27 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
