Error-finding program

[franktaw at netscape.net]

I have had exactly this error occur; and as Paul says, it occurs when 
emailing Neil directly.  Note that the problem is not usually in 
composiing the message, but in transmission; there is email software 
that decides that lines are too long and wraps them for you.  When you 
submit from the submissions page, the email is sent from AT&T's server, 
and they don't have this problem internally.

There is a very simple solution for the submitter: use spaces instead 
of commas in the sequence.  This will take care of the problem unless 
your sequence has a very long number in it - in which case, add a note 
for Neil to check that it didn't get split.

Seqfans,
     The splitting of an element can occur when a submission is made 
via
direct e-mail to Neil by cut and paste of a line that word-wraps to 
another. 
 
Example, if I cut and paste the following line into an e-mail message:
1,4,6,8,11,13,16,18,21,23,25,28,30,33,35,37,40,42,45,47,49,52,54,57,59,6 

2,
clearly I mean it to be '62' for the last element, but it becomes '6,2'
since spaces are interpretted as delimiters along with commas.
