Yes, this happens from time to time - I have no idea what 
the issue(s) is(are). What happens a lot (and strangely 
seems to happen more on the R390 list than this one - yet 
both hosted on qth) is that the message gets "stripped" 
leaving only the subject and the "trailer" stuff added by 
the qth server. Some think it has to do with html vs. pure 
text - but my mail agent (Thunderbird) is set to send only 
pure text to any qth domain... So I have no idea why it 
happens. I wonder if it has more to do with the mail agent 
"in the middle" - many of us have had nightmares with mail 
since AT&T started using Yahoo mail as their mail agent - 
and I personally blame all the problems we have with them.  
We also have our own mail server through our hosting company 
- and seldom have issues there - but we tend to use 
comcents at bellsouth.net to keep from confusing people about 
our address - though from time to time we do use our 
comcents at comcents.com address. Another PITA with 
bellsouth.net since AT&T "took over" is that out-bound 
attachments are now very limited (something less than 5MB - 
while iPower (our comcents at comcents.com hosting company) can 
handle upwards of 30MB (both in and outbound).   And of 
course at greenkeys - we're "subscribed" via bellsouth.net - 
though I guess we could subscribe as comcents.com as well - 
just hadn't gotten around-toit...

just my .02
