Hi Tom , and everyone else
The lute list is set up to “unpack" messages that have been "packed up"
for travel by your computer. One system of “packing" text is called
quoted-printable, and it uses an equals sign followed by a number to
represent special characters and numbers. So when you write about a
pitch using A <equals-sign> 440 and you computer sends it off as
quoted-printable the lute list robot interprets that as a hex number
like D0. If you write A 440 it will stand a better chance of getting
through. Or you could try to set up your mail program to avoid using
any special formatting, though that could be tricky.
