Maybe it comes from having HTML posting enabled.  I tried sending "//e" from
work to home on a machine with Outlook Express 5, and it was unmolested, but
I know that HTML is disabled for both mail and news on that machine.  (If it
had been sent in HTML format, my mail server would've blocked it.)

Then again, I haven't used Outlook Express for newsreading for a long time. 
I've never found a Win9x-based newsreader that even comes close to trn,
which is God's Own Newsreader (TM). :-)
