Something seems to be eating specific select white space.
 
It's most predominant when the line is wrapped and continued on the next
line.  But it's also visible in the first four characters of the
unwrapped lines.
 
This is what I see in Thunderbird.  --  I can't rule out a Thunderbird
problem.

I also question the value of these messages.
 
I similarly question the value of the Usenet FAQ and the monthly stats
articles are far more numerous.  Sometimes they are even repeated in the
same newsgroup.
 
I've considered filtering them at my news server.  I just haven't found
sufficient round-2-its to do so /yet/.
 
These articles aren't discussions in and of themselves.  Just about
every reply I've seen to them has been more of a complaint or discussion
about the complaint.

I'm using Seamonkey (which The Doctor does not recognise) and everything
looks fine apart from the "Subjects with most answers" table.  All the
entries go over two lines.  Big deal.  Apart from that, this mail comes
once every three months so what's the point in filtering it?

Mail? do you what the difference between mail and a usenet post is?
