Same problem as always: the rule submission was MIME-encoded, and the rule date was appended outside any MIME sections. Solution: either make the rule date appending script smarter, or (better yet), don't post MIME-encoded messages to mailing lists. Here's the message as I received it, with quoting which hopefully will keep the MIME headers from mucking things up: > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > ------=_NextPart_000_00BF_01C15030.FB5E0620 > Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > 170:3 > ------------------ > Let unwilling lawmakers undermine lexical length limitation.
