I think you formed sentences above with spaces in between, but unless you put in a ">" between lines, in some systems, the lines collapse, and all are wedged together. Also, you probably wrote this out, put it in draft, and when you copied it, it added the ">'s" to the beginning of your sentences. The best way to get a letter out of draft, if you have an e-mail window that does not provide a way is to go to "edit" above and click on "select all" and then put your cursor on the now blackened out text, right click on it and select "copy", then close out that, (alternative if mouse supports it right click and choose "select all" on the window that will come up on your screen go to the newsgroup, and once in there click on "Compose Message", and then paste what you have to the new form that is presented to you, and erase the heading in the part that you just pasted in. Then be sure that the Subject line has exactly the title of the thread you are posting to in it, including the "Re:" :) > Because your post collapsed, I came along and read it and concluded the guy who wrote it must surely be very, very confused, what with all the random ">'s" everywhere, and collapsed form.......and how do I know all this? It happened to me one time. > Suzanne
