[Mailman-Users] Welcome message has too many blank lines

[Woodie Sayles]

I don't think that is what's happening because I tried typing the text in
manually and still ended up with 3 blank lines in between each paragraph.

I read something in the archives that caused me to try putting a couple of
spaces at the beginning of each paragraph, but no blank line. Sure enough,
that worked! Now there is only one blank line in between paragraphs. I
wanted to post this in case anyone else has the same problem.

You seemingly posted this from a Windows machine
>    X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook CWS, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0)

Is it possible you let the DOS line endings sneak into the Mailman files
(and that Mailman carefully expands each single line ending into two of the
on-the-wire email line endings)?
