I would love to try but can't risk it John. About 80% of the
members are using DIGEST. It is a support list for ME/CFS patients
and changing without being sure of the results could create
problems for them and SurfNet only hosts our list so I have no
options to try it out on a testlist.
Therefor I have to be sure that a setting like that is accepted
before implementing it.

One of the reasons that I want to switch (if possible) is indeed
the problem as Rich Greenberg described in his reply. I also think
that these non-wrapping mailers mess up the line limit setting as
it is used now.
And I agree with him that it isn't a Listserv bug, in fact it is a
bug of these mailers by not wrapping conform the RFC defined max
linelenght :-/

OK, thanks.
Both thanks for your replies.

Replying with a cc to my address would be appreciated since I am on
