Chalk it up to a Mozilla bug (running on a Toshiba laptop, not Sun).  
The gory details, I have "opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" set in my addressbook 
to post as plaintext, but for some reason when I send Mozilla is 
stripping all formatting.  If I manually choose Options / Format / Plain 
Text it's fine.

I've reposted each of the errant posts with formatting, and now that 
I've tracked down the problem there shouldn't be a problem going forward!
