Welcome email text file strips carriage returns
Just started using Mailman for a notification mailing list and still in the setup phase.
Running Mailman 2.1.18-1 under Virtualmin/Webmin (has a module) on Centos 6.4. Wrote a tutorial how to upgrade when installed using Virtualmin at http://stallion-theme.co.uk/how-to-upgrade-mailman-mailing-list-tutorial/
Having a problem with the "Welcome email text file".
When I add something like
line 1 line 2 line 3
It's being converted to
line 1 line 2 line 3
And this
line 1
line 2
line 3
Converted to
line 1 line 2 line 3
Basically stripping out single carriage returns.
Found a way around this for paragraphs (second example) by adding an space between paragraphs (space character)
line 1 < space line 2 < space line 3 < space
But not for example 1.
Have tried things like \n and \r, extra spaces, tabs, but nothing I've tried keeps several lines of text in a block.
Is there a character that's counted as a carriage return?

Is the recipient using Outlook with the "Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages" box checked?

Did you follow the "(Details for welcome_msg)" link? If you do, I think the details there will answer your question
And this
line 1
line 2

Mailman isn't doing this, As Larry suggests, this may be your mail client.

The presence or absence of a space on an otherwise empty line shouldn't matter.
But not for example 1.
You could precede the lines with a space to prevent wrapping as in
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
as opposed to
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
