I know this has been explained before but remind 
me again, how is it that of all the hundreds and 
hundreds of emails I receive each week, quite a 
few of them from various listserves, only those 
from the Mark Twain tend so often to come up as 
gibberish (or even if not totally gibberish, oddly 
formatted).

Can't someone look into using a different 
listserve service, or some such?
