Nope. lugnet.cad.dat:50 was posted through your newsreader rather than the
web interface or the e-mail gateway. (The 'X-Nntp-Posting-Host' header says
146.phoenix-05-10rs.az.dial-access.att.net rather than
http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/ or a gateway address), so the problem is at
your end. You seem to be using Forte Free Agent 1.11/32.235, so go to the
Options/Posting_Preferences dialog and set the Line Length field to 999
before posting .dat content -- then set it back to 76 or whatever you have
it set to normally.

Yup, that's how newsreaders cancel things -- they send a special control
message inside a new article and the server figures out what to do.

| Todd, I just noticed that the system seems to be wrapping long lines in dat files. After posting two small dat's I tested them and found that the last line of one of them would not render, so I checked it out. The original file is OK, but the lugnet (...)
