(For what it's worth, in my experience, a lot of Windows telnet
applications garble the stuff that you paste in. I'd say use the FAQ
server's auto posting feature unless you know what you are doing and
know you can do it better than the server.)

(And if you really did mean SMTP server and not NNTP server, I don't
really see what this buys you, unless your mail program is as badly
broken as your newsreader.)

(But then the whole idea of using Windows for anything is flawed.
... Sorry, couldn't resist.)
