Something strange
Posted by Bear Bottoms on April 15th, 2008


I've been trying to post an article named 'anti malware test labs' over
the last few days and it just will not appear. It sends, but never shows
up in the group.

Who wants to play an email game where I send you the body and you try to
post it with the subject above, first letter caps with a dash between anti
and malware.

I don't see that in the message...it must be some formatting issue with
the text though. I'm putting it in a text editor thus removing all
possible formatting and trying again.

Not yet, but I just posted it again after putting the text in notepad to
remove all possible formating. John C said it had a — in it, but I don't
see it. I should know in a few minutes if formatting was the issue.

Waiting a few minutes: Nope...the damn thing just won't go through. Very
weird.

Didn't mean to imply it had anything to do with your posting problem,
only that for some reason, Yahoo tends to screw up formatting and that
they might have been responsible for the — thing.

I also saw that odd character (above) that John mentioned in the
e-mail you sent me, but since you have posted the above message
with it in, I cannot see how it could be the cause of your earlier
posting problem.
