I don't have this problem (sorry John), but I have a problem when an
e-mail address is long.  the line doesn't wrap. but it seems that if
the address is longer than about 50 characters, it just chops the end
of.  Which then causes the "welcome" message to bounce, and any
subsequent list mail to bounce (if i don't notice it right away).
I glanced at the "approve" code, but I don't see anywhere that there
is a limit on the line length read in for this.  I know that if
I set the list to "clean" or whatever so there are no names with
the e-mail addresses, I will solve 90% of the cases, but i like
having the names.  Is anyone else seeing this, or know why it
happens?

thanks.
