Hello Jim,
What makes me think it is a problem with Pan is that after being unable to
post the reply, I booted into Windows, fired up Free Agent and downloaded the
same thread. I then replied to the same message using the same words I had
originally typed into Pan.
In fact, in order to make sure I used the exact same words, I made a copy of
the post and pasted it into my email client in Linux and emailed it to
myself. After booting into Windows I downloaded the email message and pasted
the exact words I had typed in Pan into my reply from Free Agent.
So, in my non-technical mind, there was absolutely no difference that my
provider saw in the body of the message. The only difference that I can see
is that one was sent from Pan while the other from Free Agent. Again, the
bodies of the messages were almost identical, if not, identical.
To see if I could replicate the problem I posted a test message to 0.test and
then replied to it, and then replied to the reply, just like one normally
sees in a Usenet thread. After the third reply I got a warning (from Pan, I
assume, since it was almost instantaneous) which read, "There were problems
with this post. Warning: The message is mostly quoted text." I deleted the
quoted text and attempted to send the reply again. Once again I received
the "441 Posting Failed" message.
So, I again booted into Windows and downloaded the thread I had started in
0.test and tried to reply to it from Free Agent. No problems. In fact, I
replied to a number of the replies without any trouble. Then I booted back
into Linux and started Pan. Once again, I was unable to reply to the same
messages that Free Agent was able to reply to.
To summarize, there are messages to which I can reply from Free Agent which I
can't reply to from Pan. I just don't understand why that would be my ISP's
fault.
Cheers,
Harry
