Jacques, I also use Outlook 2000 (9.0.0.2711). I don't face the same problem even while sending plain text emails to the list (Or it appears to me when I read my own emails which i get back via freelists). Does anyone else see "quoted-printable" characters in my email? this is plain-text email, with no line breaks in-between.
