Actually, it's a product of Microsoft's latest Windows Live e-mail client for hotmail subscribers. Replies that go directly to an individual are sent in HTML format and appear properly. But replies that are sent to the list are sent as plain text minus all the automatically inserted line breaks so that they appear as one big, unreadable block of text filled with angle brackets to indicate where new lines are supposed to start. It took me a few tries to work out a process that reproduces the original message properly, and it takes me a couple of extra minutes to do manual formatting that the brain-dead e-mail client should do automatically. Really annoying. But it is true that Tekwryter doesn't bother to work around the Windows Live shortcomings...
