Dear Nedra, The very first post in July of this year is from Donald Trumbo ....about Franklin Jail Escape of 1891. It is in WVPENDLE-L Archives: July 2008. But I don't have any trouble reading it...seems like a normal post to me. Hope you can solve this. Bill Rexroad does great work and is a favorite of mine.

Nancy, Thank you. This message is automatically forwarded from the Pendleton County message board so we have no control over the sender who is not a member of this group. Long ago we decided that our subscribers here would also like to see queries that are posted there. Bill, are you saying that the message has non-English gibberish (a different problem to solve) or just the following footer added? (The advantage to list mode rather than digest is that you can read the message without having to scroll past unimportant footers.) Willow, can you help with this? I notice that some of the message board messages have this footer while others do not.
