This is because 1.7e introduced support for mail with lines longer than 80 bytes. It is not generally possible for LISTSERV to know whether the target system can handle mail with lines longer than 80, but it would certainly be counter-productive to run everything through LPUNCH by default. The purpose of LPUNCH, when it was introduced in 1986-7, was to provide a simpler alternative to Netdata for NJE sites which didn't support it yet. The acceptance factor of LPUNCH in the Internet/unix world is pretty close to zero (ie I consider myself lucky if I don't get flamed by users who got a file in that format). You can still request LPUNCH format by tagging your command with 'F=LPUN', but it will no longer be the default. Eric
