Looking at it some more, I think it's a problem with CSS in the html. I see these lines in the html: font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */ white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */ white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */ white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */ word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */ word-wrap:break-word; _white-space:pre; /* IE only hack to re-specify in addition to word-wrap */ Those same lines, and others similar to them, are discussed here: http://www.longren.org/2006/09/27/wrapping-text-inside-pre-tags/ and in the same discussion this problem is mentioned, about the last word being repeated (see the "quick brown fox" example). It looks like the CSS code above needs a little more work. It's not something I know much about, so I don't have a specific fix to recommend for the Listserv vendor.
