If you are having trouble with messages showing up on the list with a blank message body, check to see if you are sending your post in HTML format or something other than standard text. ONLY TEXT messages will go through to the list, and if you are sending them in HTML then RW will try to convert them to text but sometimes this process simply removes all HTML but is unable to convert it to text, leaving nothing but a blank message on the list. It is always best to write and send your post in text formatting, which should eliminate this problem. David E.
