That's because I had the audacity to put French in my posting.

GRRRRRRRR. Why hasn't it been fixed??? I've have a mind to send out *ALL* my
mail in non-English just to tweak off the broken list handler.

Why aren't we using a normal list handler like majordomo -- or are we?
If so, I can't believe others tolerate this crud. It must have a fix.

Glad you like it. I now have both the general tips and the
lists of lists docs expanded into full form. I encourage feedback,

That's strange. I got two copies of it. One came through Ok, but with the
octals instead of the french (big deal, I couldn't read it anyway ;-), the
second like described above, minus the Mime-Version: problem.

I don't remember ever having problems with majordomo, and I used it to run
a couple of international lists.
