As I wrote the poster privately, I do it by putting a space followed by
the password = info on the second line, then backspacing it all up to the
end of the previous line. That keeps my mail system from wrapping the
line, and Listserv seems to handle it just fine. Thus

[log in to unmask]
 pw = xxxx

and the pw line is then backspaced up thus:

[log in to unmask] pw = xxxx

Now, let's see if the line wraps when I send it to the list!
