It's not Lyris, it's your email program. Check out RFC 2646: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt Look at the source of one of your emails to the list. You'll notice that there is a MIME parameter called 'Format' that is set to 'Flowed'. This inserts spaces into your message which can be used as control characters to format the email. Spaces are used because that way the formatting is backward compatible with email readers that don't support 'format=flowed'. >From the top of page 6: A generating agent SHOULD: 1. Ensure all lines (fixed and flowed) are 79 characters or fewer in length, counting the trailing space but not counting the CRLF, unless a word by itself exceeds 79 characters. 2. Trim spaces before user-inserted hard line breaks. 3. Space-stuff lines which start with a space, "From ", or ">". So it's Mozilla that's doing this.
