I've asked the question again about the code/junk that I get from my and
some others' messages to the list. I was told again that it has to do with
my settings, not the lists. I don't think this is so. I'm going to try and
get some tech support on the phone this week and figure it out. In the mean
time, it seems that if you send a plain text message to the list, it comes
through nicely. Usually in your "options" or "view" menus, you have an
option of sending an HTML formatted message or a plain text message. Opt for
plain text for now and I will continue to work on the problem.

Thanks for your patience,

P.S. Of course, if this message comes through garbled like the others, then
ignore the above advice.
