Mickey recently discovered a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer (Mac). 

"It treats a ".txt" file as if it were html. By that I mean it compresses
all white space into a single space and hides anything within "<>" pairs.
Most frustrating.

Both the Edlist and Six Traits archives are affected. For example:

http://www.CyberSpaces.net/Edlist/EdList-08-17-1999.txt

Netscape 4.6 shows the first few lines as:

EdList Digest #409 - Tuesday, August 17, 1999

  Science url
          by "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com>
  women's history urls
          by "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com>
  bubble lesson
          by "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com>


While MSIE 4.5 renders the same lines as:

EdList Digest #409 - Tuesday, August 17, 1999 Science url by "Susan Nixon"
women's history urls by "Susan Nixon" bubble lesson by "Susan Nixon"

All run together. No email addresses shown.

The Windows version of MSIE does not appear to be so affected. I'd
appreciate knowing of anyone seeing this run-together problem and who is
using something other than MSIE on a Mac.

For those of you that are running MSIE on a Mac and thus have this problem
when viewing the list archives, choose "Source" from the "View" menu and
see the way the archive file is supposed to look.

I'm investigating ways to get around this problem but until I do, those
affected should use the View Source work-around."
