Yes, but why would one of those messages have looked OK in the digest,
while the second one--in the same digest, sent by the same subscriber from
the same Blackberry in the exact same way, and going through the same
Listserv server to the same recipients' same mail programs--not be
decoded? 

He is happy to make any adjustments that can be made, but we can't figure
out why his messages sometimes come through just fine and at other times
are gobbledygook. The same thing has happened with posts from another
Blackberry user--who, fortunately, posts much less often. I'm guessing
that as more people start using Blackberry, this problem will get worse.
The posts are fine in the archives, but they sure do make a mess of the
digests for some subscribers.
