i'm trying to post an article to comp.graphics. it's not a large
article (about 40 lines, 2000 characters). when i get to the 

    "Send, abort, edit, or list?"

prompt, however, i have problems.

    Send, abort, edit, or list? send
    Article not accepted by server; not posted.
    inews: Article rejected: daemon included more text than new text
    Article appended to /mit/tuna/dead.article
    A copy may be temporarily found in /mit/tuna/.article

apparently, the news server is barfing on my article for some reason
which i don't understand, and the error message doesn't help me figure
out what the problem is.

i've posted several times before with no problems. this is the first
trouble i've had with rrn/Pnews.

any hints or suggestions?
