I should be smacked on the head with a pfd for not mentioning this
before.... but the real trouble shooter of PaddleWise is Bob Myers. 
He's the one that solved the problem of the subscriber's loopy mail 
server that was sending everyone double messages, resolves a lot of mail
error situations, set up the list to prevent all those huge image files etc. 
from beating up on your machines, prevented html markup tags that confound 
us all, and set up many more perks about this list :-)  

So, forgive me Bob for not mentioning that earlier as it's a big part
of what makes things move along much smoother admin-wise here on PaddleWise.

As for people copying messages whole without editing their replies (even 
including the PaddleWise trailer).... we haven't been able to solve that 
one yet.  But we think we're getting closer (ok, so we dream a little :-)

Cheers,

Jackie
