That's interesting that my message sent in html (Windows Live Mail in W7) went through just fine, but punctuation seems to create problems in plain text. Confirmation that both message had been distributed to the list came back right away and the plain text message appeared immediately, but the html message took another two minutes. Curious, but no matter. My take-away is to send message in html or refrain from punctuating messages sent in plain text. I smell ham, but it could just be me.
