Courtesy of Michael Santovec :-

If a thread is very deep, the References: header gets too long. Unlike
some other news
readers, OE does not know how to trim the line.

The one workaround in OE is to start a new thread.

Another workaround is to start the post, then do a File, Save As to an
NWS file. Edit the
NWS file in Notepad and manually trim the References line (i.e. remove
all but the first
and last entries) then save the file, double click it from the Windows
File Explorer to
open and complete the post.
