I forward your wild guess to him.
Let me rephrase my question
with this hypothetical example with google groups.
-----------------------------
I arrived comp.lang.php
and type a message to ask a question.
entering/editing : This is a test. Don't you like this?
previewing : This is a test. Don't you like this? ( great so far)
Now, I click on POST button.
then, what the heck,
I got this : This is a test. Don
('t you like this? : these disappeared)
-----------------------------------------------
I cannot express myself well.
I do not know PHP.
I will post reply again
when I got e-mail from my friend.
Thanks anyway.
