In Pegasus Mail there is an option for including messages. Preferences,
General Options, Comment character. I use Pegasus with a comment of
">" (default setting), but I suspect some people tried something else
and then returned to "> "", but including a space.
This used to happen OFTEN on my list ([log in to unmask]), but an announcemt
to the effect of "...do not include a space between '>' and any headers you
wish to include. Your mail will get rejected. I will not forward them to
the list. Better yet, include *NO* headers at all in your return mail...."
I guess you could say it is a Pmail problem (its certainly NOT a Listserv
problem), but if the user keeps his default comment ">" instead of "> "
Listserv mail will not get rejected.
