> I've got some real novice users who are supposed to become moderators of
> majordomo lists. The problem is, that they use either Netscape Mail
> or Microsoft Mail to read/send e-mail.
>
> When they try to approve messages sent to the lists, the approval doesn't
> work, because their approval information is not on the first line.
> Both Netscape Mail and Microsoft Mail are tacking on a blank line at the
> beginning of the message, before their approval line. The messages
> bounce back, and nothing we've been able to do can circumvent that blank
> line being added at the beginning. I've had complete success moderating
> these same lists with both Pine and Elm, so I know now that it's definitely
> the mailers adding the blank lines. But I'm wondering if anyone else
> has had this problem, and if there's a workaround known for it.
>
> Teaching them how to use Pine or Elm to read e-mail is not an option,
> since they're extreme novices in the first place, and their choice of
> e-mail agent is dictated by others.
>
> I apologize if this is a question that's been answered before, but as I
> said, I haven't been able to find anything on it.

> Thanks!
