I'm fairly new to running Majordomo, having installed it several months 
ago.  I now have several lists running, the largest (TMG-L) with over 400 
subscribers.  I am starting to see a problem with some of the posts which 
may or may not be related to Majordomo.  The problem is that the first 
line in the body of the message is being stripped from the body and 
treated as a line in the header.  All spaces are being switched to 
periods.  This is causing these messages to be rejected from several of 
the sites on the list.  Has anyone seen this before? Is it a Majordomo 
problem? A sendmail problem?  A problem with the software that the user 
is using to compose his/her message?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a line from one of the bounced messages:
