posted to everyone that sent in email cutoff comments but I decided to share
it with everyone since folks are still requesting info. See below.

Hi Sherrie and John,



This is a problem that comes up irregularly with some subscribers. There is
really nothing to do about it other than trying a different e-mail client
than whatever one you are using now. Here is an explanation from the UW Tech
team that supports the Tweeters listserv:

Subject: Receiving incomplete digests



This happens once in a while due to different email clients. Usually the
scenario is that someone sends a message to the list through their email
client (be it Outlook, Thunderbird, or a web client like Yahoo) which
includes a strange character (maybe the person put in a smiley face icon, or
something like that) and then for some of the people receiving the message,
their email client won't know what to do with that strange symbol (this will
happen even in plain text mode) and so just stops displaying any text that
follows it.



The problem is idiosyncratic because it just depends on the particular email
clients and the happenstance of these strange characters. It doesn't have
anything to do with Mailman or anything within our control, unfortunately.



Our advice for messages that don't come through properly is to go to the
list archives and read the messages from there, or to see about using a
different email client, if possible.



The list archives are located at the following URL:

Sorry there's no simple fix.
