|I don't know about Netscape, but in most standalone newsreaders it's

|above) and "fool" the reader into thinking it's all original text.

|Options drop-down menu.)

|Of course, it's set up that way to remind you to only quote the
|minimum amount of text necessary to make your point...or to make you
|think twice about making "Me, too!" posts.

The server can return this error as well, and you can't choose what that
thinks is a quote.

I had this problem posting a 'toon to one of my ISP's local newsgroups
(which have a quote vs new text checker) and it thought the |s down the side
were quotes and refused the post. :o(
