At first glance, it looks as though your "newline"s are not being
recognized as such.
Were you using any other formatting, in addition to newline?
"Newline", on various systems, can be CR (Carriage Return), LF (Line
Feed), CRLF, or LFCR. In printers, many did an automagic LF whenever they
got a CR, etc.
For a while, each system insisted that theirs was the only true way, and
that everybody else shoulc change to match them.
The copy of your first 5155 post that I get from the list has no newlines.
So, whatever software you are using on your phone seems to be sending
sonething for newline, that the list server isn't recognizing.
I'm sorry that I can't be any real help, but that is what the nature of
the problem seems to be.
