Hello all,

First of all thank you to all the CRU team for their great work on Sympa.

I have set up a Sympa server (using Sympa 5.3.2 on a FreeBSD server) and created my first list, and everything works well at the moment, except for an annoying cosmetic problem.

A the time of creation of the list the name of list has to be provided, as well as a short description in the "Subject" field, a "Category" and a longer description in the "Description" in a bigger textarea field.

My problem is that I did write a description in this field, which was about 2 or 3 lines long in the textarea, but I did not force carriage return by pressing <enter> at the end of each line. So, technically, the description is on one single line.

When the new users receive invitations to the list, that "Description" content is being sent to them in a single line (which is too long to read on GUI mail readers such as Thunderbird unless you scroll the reader windows to the right - probably Outlook also, etc.).

I would like to edit this "Description" and add the missing carriage returns, but I can't find any way to do it (even login in as the Listmaster for the site).

Am I missing something?

Is there any way to change this "Description" other than making an SQL query in mysql (if that is the way to do it, what is the table I should be looking at)?

Thanks in advance for your help,
