Oh, OK, Thanks. But I'm not using similies - I'm just trying to use plain ASCII text. This is sooo strange. I created the message the other night (by typing it in to the message box on the board) got the DNS msg, backed up and copied/pasted the text into Notepad. I didn't want to retype all that. So now I'm trying to copy/paste it from Notepad to the board and I still get this same darn message.

As you can see, I am able to type in replies here. I'm just wondering if I, as a new guy, am limited to what I can do until I achieve a higher rating on the board perhaps? I can't find any rule that says so, however.

Still looking for an answer...
