Is there a feature/bug in inews that limits the number of included lines?  When
I tried to post the following article using postnews:

Does the article go into further detail?  I was wondering how many slots the
Mac IIsi will have and what is its clock speed?  Thanks for the info.

I got the error message:

	inews: Article rejected: jwh included more text than new text
	Article not posted - exit status 256

I found a way around the problem be replacing the > with -, but I don't like
having to do this.  Any comments from the experts?

Thanks,
Joe Hughes
