We are having a strange problem with LISTSERV and Microsoft Mail and
are wondering if anyone else is seeing it.  The problem occurs with an
edited list, with the editor being on Microsoft Mail.  When a message
from a non-editor is sent to the list, it is forwarded to the editor
with some explanatory text.  These messages get truncated in the body
at seemingly random points.  No other messages from LISTSERV (or
anything else) to Microsoft Mail users get truncated.  If the editor is
on another mail system, the messages are not truncated.  Our current
thinking is that is is some sort of weird sensitivity in the Microsoft
Mail SMTP gateway to the text that LISTSERV sends, but are at a loss to
figure out what that sensitivity might be exactly.  As far as we can
see, there is nothing unusual in the text (no control characters, for
example).
