Ah, but i do use a different editor(Everest) so i don't think its
that, however i'm begining to suspect my hard drive as the problem
as there were large blank gaps exactly where the strange corruption
occured ( looking at the messages in the news folder).
I think i'm going to invest in Diamond Edge 2 cos i'm due a major
disaster( a bit like California ).
