Hi.

This is a subtle bug:

When you upload the remind.tpl template form the wwsympa interface, and
using a Macintosh with Internet Explorer (I didn't check with Netscape); the
file is saved with the bad line-feeds (they show as an underlined M). And
the remind message is garbled accordingly, with some header information
inside the body of the mail.

A way around, which would help a lot in other cases as well, would be to
send a probe message to the list owner together with the auth-request
message. Then s/he could check if the remind message is correct (and have
the idea to modify it if s/he wants to) *before* sending it to everybody.
