"And they might just tell you

splurge for a Pepsi and cheeze wiz.
I suspected the interface, and have scoured the help section of USA.net (=
not
my ISP, just a used to be free webmail provider) but i didn't think to do=
the
same for freelists.org.

Interesting. Since you've been using this since 1985,
you are not new to the net. And since you have had
the same e-mail address since then, I can understand
that changing service providers is less than
attractive. I am assuming that usa.net is your
service provider. When I looked at usa.net I wasn't
sure if it just provided your e-mail or if it provided
your Internet connection. =
What many of my students would consistently overlook
was any "help" feature in the programs they used
including support services provided by the service
itself usually under "contact us". But I bet you've
done that already too. And they might just tell you
that it has to do with the interface between you and
the list. Which leaves contacting the list provider,
i.e. freelists.org. [I've noticed that the list
inserts a "-" at the beginning of my posts.]
It's all in how much it bothers you and whether the
problem exists in other places. [If it doesn't, that
argues for the e-mail service/list interface problem].
For a reader of your posts, it is a little
disconcerting but not overwhelming. I suspect we can
work with it if it doesn't make you crazy.
Hey--maybe you could NOT let it word wrap and insert
line breaks [enter/carriage returns] and see if that
short circuits the problem!
Or you could bring your lunch.

P.S. Is this worth crackers and a coke?
