I dunno.  Some possible reasons:

The word in question was not on the first line.  (it was line 4 I think)

It was behind a > symbol which LISTSERV recognizes as a 'quoting' symbol
and ignores any following text on that line.  You could also use the common
--
(dash+dash+space) in the left margin to tell LISTSERV to stop processing
for commands and ignore all following text to end of message.

Wes' server could be 1.8d and LSTOWN-L is 1.8e  (there were some changes in
this area of processing for 1.8e which could make a difference.)

Alignment of sun/moon/stars.

Your favorite reason here...  ;-)
