I know this might sound a bit odd, but I have a number of subscribers
who are complaining about not seeing the proper formatting (line breaks)
on their messages to my lists.
They all use Eudora (various recent versions) on Windows and I have
confirmed that their messages are being sent with the format=flowed
Content-type. The messages display correctly in all other systems that I
have access to but I have confirmed that when I use Eudora on an MSPC
the paragraph breaks (i.e. the inserted returns) are removed.
The fly in the ointment is that if messages are sent directly to these
subscribers the formatting comes through correctly. So if I send a
message to the list using format=flowed and CC the subscriber they will
see the CC message correctly but he one they get via Smartlist is
displayed with empty lines stripped (although all other subscribers see
things as intended).
My rc.? files do not touch the Content-type header so I'm not munging it
in any way on the listserver (and I have confirmed that header comes
back as it was sent).
This seems to be very confusing and telling people to drop Eudora or
even turn off format=flowed isn't the best option (especially when they
get their ordinary mail) just fine.
