Maybe it's GPG related?

I've gotten a few PGP messages directly that doesn't behave like that.  I
don't think I've ever gotten a GPG one.  (I don't pay attention to

Or maybe its the mailer software.

That's possible.  I don't think I've ever heard anybody ever even suggest
that Microsoft writes bug-free software....

But I'm not really inclined to blame Microsoft this time, because it happens
so rarely.  Only a few people in a few mailing list.  I'm more inclined to
feel it's the source mail client or the mailing list software.
