[Mailman-Users] welcome msg is seriously fscked up under opera

[Peter Jay Salzman]

hi all,

here's the welcome message for my list:

Here are the rules:

   1. Don't send HTML email.  Don't send attachments to the list.
   
   2. No flaming.
   
   3. The list manager is Peter Jay Salzman <p at dirac.org>.  Think of him as
   the "system administrator" for this list.
   
   4. vox can be be high volume for short spurts.  If the list traffic gets
   heavy, please think twice before posting to the list until the traffic
   calms down.
   
   5. Avoid one-liners.  No me-too posts (unless you're trying to make a funny).
   
   6. Trim quotes on vox.  Don't trim quotes on vox-tech.  NEVER TRIM
   ATTRIBUTIONS -- If you're replying to a post, leave the identity of the
   poster intact!!
   
   7. You are expected to follow Khendon's Law:  If the same point is made
   twice by the same person, the thread is over.


when submitting this under opera, it puts multiple newlines between all these
lines.   it looks something like:

you get the picture.   there are two problems here:

1. submitting the form interface via opera inserts alot of funky newlines
2. the first line gets prepended to some headers.   this happened under
   mozilla too, and i fixed it by putting a blank line before the first line
   of the welcome message.

has anyone else encountered this problem?   any ideas on what could be
fscking up the form interface so badly?
