Thanks, David. I think the problem isn't "::" by itself, since I have been
using this as a self-quote prefix for some time. The problem in this case
is that "::" was the first thing in the file. That's what set off the
bounce.
As you say, "I have all messages that *start* with the double colon
bounce to me for approval."
