If we are talking about CSV file import, the "Text import" dialog
popping up after having opened the file lets you select columns. Each
column can be set individually to a specific data type using either the
context menu on the column header or by selecting from the "Column type"
listbox. One of the types offered is "US English".

Which is what I assumed before.

As I don't read the HTML rendered part of your mail (you should refrain
from posting mails in HTML anyway) I don't see "bold red", but I think
I know what you're referring anyway.

Please try to assign US-English to the column in the CSV import dialog.
If this is not about the dialog, then temporarily setting the locale to
English-US under Tools.Options.LanguageSettings.Languages "Language of
Locale setting" before importing the data may help.

Well, somewhere you have obtained the list address, that place should
had mentioned it's a mailing list.
