The Logic Off Topic list

> Admins,

What? You mean we're actually good for something?? :-) Believe it or not, we do quite a bit behind the scenes besides being "mothers of prevention".. Trimming up poorly quoted emails (you have no idea how many times we've saved the LUG from seeing an entire 25-message digest quoted just to add 2 lines of text), preventing spammers, helping people having problems misc problems, e.g. subscribing/unsubscribing etc.. Being "censors" is a very small (yet still useful and important) part of what we do.

Yahoo Groups automatically adds that line -- the admins are not doing it. Actually we often delete that line from the bottom of messages as a lot of emails say that.. But when we are busy with other things sometimes we don't have time to edit it out.

Are you sending plain text emails? Switching from HTML to Plain Text would probably fix this. I'm not sure exactly what non-text-text is being sent but I've seen that message a lot, but I bet it has something to do with sending non-plain-text messages. 

You might send yourself an email (so the non-text part won't be removed by Yahoo) and open it up in a very simple text editor (e.g. notepad in Windows) and look for any strange characters that might show up. Feel free to send me (sadus@...) a test message and I can try looking at it in Notepad if you don't see anything odd on your Mac.
