Matt,

Copy the cell, if you want to preserve the original cell, select it and use
Shift-Ctrl-I to convert it to InputForm. Then copy that and paste it into
your posting.
You can convert a cell back to StandardForm by using Shift-Ctrl-N.
Converting between forms loses comments.

Thank you all for your help.  My apologies for the broken cells.  How
do I get InputForm?  I assume I need to do something like:
Cell->Display As->InputForm, then select the text in the cell and copy
it as 'Plain Text'.  Is that right?  If not, how do I make sure to get
the proper form associated with InputForm into the newsgroup?

Thanks,
Matt
