At least in some cases, the problem is the original message is sent as RFC 3676 format="flowed". In this format, the sending MUA creates 'paragraphs' and arbitrarily wraps lines at space characters leaving trailing spaces in wrapped lines to indicate they should be joined to the following line. The receiving MUA is supposed to rejoin the flowed lines and then wrap them to its own display width, but Mailman, in the process of adding message header and/or footer, and in the process of scrubbing (if scrub-nondigest is Yes), removes the format="flowed" parameter from the Content-Type: header, so the receiving MUA thinks the format is "fixed". I am currently testing a fix for this problem. See the bug report at <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1495122&group_id=103&atid=100103> for further information and a patch. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
