The title of the page is "406" and the text is:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Action Not Acceptable
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Server 12 at poehosting.com Port 80
A quick Google check seems to indicate that error 406 is often some Apache config problem - specifically one of the mod_s, like mod_security or mod_access? A false positive from mod_security?
...OK, it's definitely a mod_security issue. The server is thinking that the there is dangerous content in my message. Well yes, there IS, but not dangerous to the server. Except perhaps danger to be crashed by a floor of disgusted and angry replies written by the 2006 equivalent of native villagers waving pitchforks and burning down labs.
I guess I'll glance at my message to see if I can find the offending (to the server) segment. It must be near the front, as I tried posting the first few paragraphs by themself and got the error.
