I did some checking since I have seen this happen before and sure enough this is a problem on the freelist mailing list. We are looking into if we can fix the problem with just a configuration change of the list, or maybe a setting some users can set in their mail program. The problem is either a MIME encoding issue of some email messages or a printed quotable option which needs to be turned off . The messages are not getting translated correctly when either the email program or the freelist itself tries to word wrap and inserts soft returns which are not getting converted correctly to ANSI or there is a "printed quotable" issue which we may be able to change. Stay tuned we are looking into this issue and will try to figure something out. Charles M. La Pierre CTO Sendero Group, LLC Lat. 37 15' 25" N Lon: 121 53' 04" W
