Eva,
I have just experienced this problem as well and as far as I can tell this is the way it works. I have been using clean.txt (windows) I got off the web to strip the file for a unix web based archive access. This appears to help me quite a bit (that and all lowercase archive file names). 

I hope this helps

When I try F=MIME/Appl , Listserv seems to encode/send a
logfile without carriage returns.   It is an attachment, but
not a pleasant one.   Using F=MIME/text doesn't strip the
carriage returns but then it's embedded in the mail and
not an attached file.

Am I doing something wrong?   (using Netscape on Windows and Solaris?)
