What's happening is that newlines are being removed that shouldn't be. It's difficult to make a program distinguish between a newline put there by the author of the message and one inserted to break up long lines by the email client (or majordomo or something else in between), though it's easy for us to do. I'll see what I can do about this. -- J. -- Play Nomic! http://www.nomic.net
