[Mailman-Users] Mailman-Users Digest, Vol 36, Issue 24

[Glen Page]

Not sure if this is related by I got an odd message from one of my  
moderators. At least one list subscriber is getting messages but the  
top half of the messages is gone. This is puzzling as it is not  
happening to everyone on the list. I do NOT know what client is  
displaying the partial messages. I do know that the moderator sending  
the messages is using OS X Mail Client.

Moderator has found that adding a few carriage returns to the top of  
the original post makes it show up fine.

It is fruitless to become lachrymose because of scattered lacteal
