Yes, but I meant for beyond the signature file - suppose I spot a spelling
error or an incorrect word that makes my post make less sense - shouldn't I
be able to edit it if I've spotted it?

It'd be of particular use if someone spotted an error that needed correcting
in a list of parts for a set, or any list for that matter.

Would it be possible to add an 'edit my message' button to the posting

post before they let it get posted would be nice.

It's a pain to resubmit a post through a newsreader.

I suggest making use of a signature file.

I have not yet met a newsreader that does not have this function -- even
Outlook Express has a signature file function (under Tools, Options,
Signatures) as does Netscape and all of the better newsreaders out there • like
MS Outlook, Microplanet Gravity, etc.

If you typically sign your email and news posts the same, a signature file
macro will do this for you automatically.  This way there is no chance of
forgetting to add "Remove Spamblock" or even typing your own name • incorrectly.
Plus, if you design a unique custom signature or find the 'perfect' tag • line
for your name you will not have to re-create it each time you post a • message.

Keep in mind that integrated email/newsreaders use the same sig file • AFAIK;
dunno if that will be problematic.

Kevin - I hate to point out ettiquette matters, but in some cases it matters. In this case, a simple FUT-->lugnet.where.ever is what you forgot in your reply.
