Thanks! I finally came to the realization that I needed to add the # at
the beginning of broken lines and that my description length exceeded
the limitation so I shortened it to 80 characters but I never thought of
deleting those extra spaces... good suggestion! :)

btw, I'm not sure if I'm using an exchange server. My domain is on my
friend's server and it includes a bunch of stuff including majordomo....
gotta try the other stuff out someday! Well, after I finish learning how
to operate lists on majordomo. :)
