Your "helpful" mail client

>X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)

(or the even more "helpful" Exchange server at mail.marion.lib.oh.us)
apparently decided to 'wrap' certain lines of the header it thought did not
"look right".  Of course the mail client program is so smart and sure of
itself it never bothers to tell you it is doing this.  You do not have the
"need to know".  ;-)

Editing your List Header via the LISTSERV WWW interface is the best way to
avoid such unpleasantness.  You could also change to a decent mail client that
does not do such unpleasant things, but in many institutions that is not
possible.
