For some reason, my newsgroup reader doesn't insert the >
symbols in certain responses (on yours for instance!). I don't
know why!
"Then it's time to change newsreaders. Even Google gets this
right."
I'll keep an eye on it now, but I think it may only be happening
in response to your posts.
"No one else seems to have that problem."
I tried to find another post/poster in which OE 6 wouldn't put the '>'
symbol in front of the lines but I couldn't find any. Your posts are the
only ones that cause the anomaly. FYI.
"So what is non-conformant in my posts?"
I don't know. Maybe nothing. But obviously something is
different about them since I can't find anyone else's posts
that causes the same anomaly.
So what's different?
It could be my OE 6 or the default settings. I dunno. But
since it's only your posts that are causing it, I tend to
think you have some kind of "special setup" on your end. Do
you?
If you think that Google is a "special setup". (It is, in many
ways, but I don't think I'm the only one posting through
Google.)
I mean are you using something bizarre or do you have
something setup "specially"? From your post headers, I see the
extended ASCII character set is being used. That's a shot in
the dark, but I can see how that could maybe be an issue
possibly. Why not use just 7-bit ASCII (is it an option?)?
Because it doesn't have all of the characters I need. Check out
me .sig---there are accents in my address.
Note that from what little I can see, Google translates what I
send into UTF-8 anyway; what you see is NOT what I have on my
machines.
I don't know what NNTP expects, but I do know that Windoze
has it's own interpretation of "extended ASCII" (Latin-1).
That should be irrelevant. There shouldn't be any special
characters in my headers, and normally, there aren't any in the
body of my post. I'll modify my usually .sig for this one, so
there won't be any special characters there, either, and we'll
see.
"If nothing, then you probably have to change newsreaders."
You say that so casually.
IF it's not conform, you shouldn't be using it. It's not like
you don't have a choice.
If I was a heavy user of USENET, I might seek out another
program. I used to use Gravity a loooong time ago, but I'm not
going to change up now because I use newsgroups so lightly
right now.
If you wanna go back and forth on this issue, we should take
it out of the group bandwidth probably.
Logically, yes, but since the problem only seems to appear when
you respond to my postings, it's a little difficult.
What you might try for starters is to send me an exact copy of
the last message you received from me (one that causes this
problem), including any headers. At least like that, I can see
if there is something unusual about what ends up under NNTP from
me (after Google has gotten through with it).
