Buddy,
given that the results on the other machine were just as bad as the mac, I'm
beginning to wonder if the problem isn't something other than what you
suspect. I know nothing about the nuts and bolts of listservs but I have
noticed that some of your posts have more junk characters than others in
them. i'm just thinking onlist, if you will. Sure wish I had answers for
you. 73, Lou WA3MIX
