I have no idea; it only seems to happen occasionally, and I suppose it could be something the poster has done wrong. I wonder if that only occurs when you post directly from the Yahoo site, rather than through e-mail. It inevitably occurred when someone was trying to post the text of a news article they were trying to share with the group. I know that everyone on the group would get it that way, as a few would ask for a repost of all the text. But regardless of the cause, it does seem to happen, at least occasionally. Sorry I can't tell you more, as I've already deleted them, and have since forgotten which group it was.
