Lorraine,
Here's one fix for one aspect of the msmail problem which was sent to clif
and was apparently implemented:

Well, we just went through this a few months ago, and I was the one
who started it that time (All-in-one mail does the same thing).
The solution I found was to look for the line in majordomo that strips
comments (I was told line 138, but I am not sure what version that was
for). Try replacing it with:
s/^\s*#.*//g; # strip comments
which will still allow majordomo to ignore comment lines, but only
when the entire line is a comment.

Johnny, I too have run into this problem. Our entire user base of 7,000
mail users all use Microsoft Mail. I have had to put list moderators on
the Spry AIR Mail for Windows in order for them to moderate their list.
It appears Microsoft Mail adds a LF and CR before the Approved:
header. This causes the resend program to improperly parse the
commnad.
I plan on taking at look at the PERL code in resend to see if this can be
fixed eaisly. If not we're stuck with the problem. But yes it is
a MS related problem. If you come up with a solution please post it,
I'll do the same.
