I'm forwarding this for a friend.  His news server (I think running bnews)
recently rejected a reply to a message, and gave him the following error:

441 inews: Article rejected: news included more text than new text\

Does anyone know what the meaning of this crptic message is?  Thanks.

                                                                         Mark
