I have used Netscape's mailer on Win95 successfully. When sending the
list back, you must turn off line wrap in the message composition window
(make *sure* it is off). Alternatively, you can save the
list to a PC file, then mail to Listserv, *absolutely no text*, and
attach the list file with "convert to plain text" selected. This
creates an in-line text attachment of the file quite literally. I
maintain a staff mailing list of > 800 subscribers and that's way too
big for Netscape's mail composition window and the in-line attachment is
the only way to get it done.
I should also note that I have my SMTP server set to the listserv
machine itself, which avoids any intermediate problems. Our setup is
Listserv 1.8c and LSMTP on a Windows NT server.
