Mercury on Netware - Sending plain text from outlook causes commands to fail

This is likely an Outlook issue, but wanted to see if folks have any ideas.


When sending maiser commands from Outlook (new outlooks or OWA), setting the client to plain text, the commands are failing as it appears there are some trailing characters (line break?) that maiser is including it the command. What does this look like?


From outlook (plain text) send the following without hitting enter for a new line.


Enumerate all-faculty-l


Get a response back from maiser with the following:


maiser@lists.scrippscollege.edu
Unable to find list 'all-faculty-l='.


If I hit return at the end of the command, I will get:
maiser@lists.scrippscollege.edu
Unable to find list 'all-faculty-l=0A='.


I'm guessing this is something to do with character set used, but not sure how to fix this. I'm in the process of moving this listserver of netware to the latest windows release of Mercury, but wondering if there is a mercury.ini setting.


My other thought would be to try Thunderbird to eliminate Outlook for the mix.
