>text"Please tell me whats wrong and how I can correct it 

The key to your error is the crytic "moreinc textthannew text"
message. If you spread it out and insert some spaces it says:
"More included text than new text".... those programmers and their
crytpic messages..... Your news server wants to keep quoted text
smaller than the new text in replies. Just make sure you only include
the portion of the original msg you absolutely need

A news reader I have used "WinVn" sometimes would say "busy, what a
bit", which meant try again in a little while.... :^)

If you actually want to include the lines, change the character it uses to 
indicate a quote from the > to the =.  That's how it tells included text.

I know this means you hit down, backspace, = quite a bit, but you can get 
quite good at it.
