I have a question about the news software (were running 2.11)-- inews
to be more specific.  I'm posting to these groups because I wasn't
sure where else to post to.  My question is on submitting followup articles
using "F".  How does the software discriminate "long" followups?  I know
that the article is supposed to be trimmed down and I do that, but it
seems sporadically that my article gets rejected for that reason.  I get
a message saying that the new text has more lines than the old or something
like that, when, in fact, I must have trimmed the original article down
by 75-80% overall.  Might it be something at my site or am I missing
something?  Any mail would be greatly apprecieted.  Thanx.
