} I see.  In review a few other messages, it seems to happen to MIME
} messages more than plain text.  Any idea why that would be?

Broken mime implementations.

} One reason I hate customizing things out of the box.

You are a wise man.

} Thanks for the tip, I'll try to remember it.  I don't think the web
} interface is used much here.

I am old fashioned, I like the email interface and mostly use it.  Most
newer users seem to prefer the point-and-click of the web interface.  I
have used it a few times and it does seem to work (mostly).

One thing in the web interface that seems to be a bit flakey is
confirming things like change of address.  Here is a bit from my "How
to change your email address" boilerplate:


NOTE: The confirmation email gives you a choice of replying to it with
OK in the message body or clicking on a link.  Forget the link, it
sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.  Just reply to the confirmation
request, making sure that the "From:" field is the same as the
confirmation request is addressed to,  clear the body of the message,
and put in "OK" (without the quotes) and nothing else.  If your mailer
inserts a signature, put a few blank lines after the OK to make sure its
seperated from the signature.  Don't touch the subject, it will contain
a code number that Listserv uses to match you to the original request.
