I noticed the first few lines of my submissions were snipped. Is this
normal? Should I skip a few lines normally? Personal e-,ail please, to keep
from spamming the list.

What's happening is that the list processor strips away the first line if
it starts with a space or a tab. So don't do that, and the first line
should appear correctly. Also, there's no need to indent paragraphs if you
just skip a line between them.

(This goes to the list so everybody who doesn't already know, will do so
now. Maybe this is something for the FAQ, Fro?)
