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."
