Didn't work. same behavior.

In the meantime Mac OS 10.2 users have yet another alternative; 
Apple's own browser, Safari.  It doesn't have the same problem as IE 
with posting articles.  I've switched to Safari because it crashes 
less than IE (in spite of being a public beta!) and is faster.

FYI, I've been able to reproduce this problem with IE under 10.1.5 
and 10.2.3 on two different Macs.  Until you fix this, you might want 
to have the submission page detect the browser, and warn the user.
