This didn't post for some reason.

It definitely did post. The "X-Antivirus:" header lines in your posts
suggest that you have configured Avast! do scan news (and probably email, as
well); and that may be the root of your problem.

I don't let Avast! near my mail and news clients. Avast! scans my local
system, so I am as confident at those scans allow that my computers are
clean. No need to scan outbound. And Avast! will catch anything inbound in
the on access scan, barring a zero-day virus. I had one of those come
attached to unsolicited email, once. The on access scanner did not alert;
neither did the back up on demand scanner. If the bug isn't in the current
definition files, your scanner won't catch it.
