I haven't checked the RFC lately, but ISTR that the end of text line is
specified as "dash dash space lineend", so that does not surprise me.

} Finally, I retried the original but with the blank following the double-dash.  Same result as the original, but the output did not echo the blank at the end of the double-dash, at least not that I could intepret via Eudora processing.

Because some mailers want to drop trailing blanks I am guessing that
many implementations treat the dash dash lineend as the same seperator.
Perhaps the RFC now calls the trailing space as optional.

I just tried it myself and the echo did not show the blank:

So it would seem that listserv is dropping trailing blanks.

A bug?  I would say yes.
Worthwhile fixing?  Thats up to Lsoft.  IMHO probably not.
