- the examples are helpful too. did you notice that the paragraph which inc= luded the "" below did not have the extra characters inserted? only some shorte= r lines without the usual "=3D3"s and such. I can live with the breaks alth= ough it's odd when it's in the middle of a word. this paragraph was typed with= out any carriage returns. Maybe my easiest solution is to register an account= from another browser and push (or pull) the mail from there to net@ddress. I n= ow return you to your regularly scheduled yammerings (i mean that in the bes= t way possible;) oh yeah, i had cornedbeef and coffee for breakfast. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sun, 08 Apr 2007 01:42:59 PM EDT From: " RNX " <_rnx_@xxxxxxx> To: <geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [GeoStL] Re: line breaks and other extra characters in posts - "And they might just tell you that it has to do with the interface between you and the list.

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. =3D 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. Dancing [Carol] Strawberry P.S. Is this worth crackers and a coke?
