One possibility is that you sent your email as HTML - in other words you
usually use effects like bold/italics.
The PBS list does not allow anything other than plain text - other
formats are converted to plain text before being sent out.
There is a convention that single line breaks are white space and can be
ignored and double line breaks are to be treated as such.
I've been sending plain text emails since 1985 - all this modern stuff
with fancy fonts and pictures - bound to end in trouble.
Seriously the PBS list has a lowest common standard approach. One day we
might change.
(notice double line breaks in above text)
(single line break between this line and the previous one)
