Are the problem messages NEW items, or written as replies to other posts? Are the originals, to which the blackberry replies, from the same origin? I'm suggesting that perhaps your sometimes-garbled results may be hailing from origins not necessarily in the blackberry device - just something to think about. >>> [log in to unmask] 3/9/2005 3:13:06 PM >>> Yes, but why would one of those messages have looked OK in the digest, while the second one--in the same digest, sent by the same subscriber from the same Blackberry in the exact same way, and going through the same Listserv server to the same recipients' same mail programs--not be decoded? He is happy to make any adjustments that can be made, but we can't figure out why his messages sometimes come through just fine and at other times are gobbledygook. The same thing has happened with posts from another Blackberry user--who, fortunately, posts much less often. I'm guessing that as more people start using Blackberry, this problem will get worse. The posts are fine in the archives, but they sure do make a mess of the digests for some subscribers.
