Is someone playing with the posts ie filtering them somehow,

"From doesnt work here."
and yet it got quoted in the post?

That's a Topica bug.
I've noticed that if a line starts
with "From", Topica might quote it as ">From".
Maybe it's because "From" can appear at the start of
an e-mail header line.
Testing...

The standard for quoted printable encoding states that if a line
begins with "from" (in any upper/lower case combo), then the initial f
or F must be transmitted as "=3D66" or "=3D46", and the same deal with a
full stop appearing on its own on a line ("=3D2C"). Of course that
should all happen invisibly.
Topic probably does not handle it properly for all format/encoding
settings, but if you want you can change them at your end.
I think I'm the only person on this list that uses Forte Agent, so the
rest of this paragraph may not be directly relevant: under Group,
Default Properties, I can set the format to Mime, UUEncoded[*], or
yEnc, and the attachment placement as Attachment[*], Inline Mime, or
In Text Body. Also, I can set the encoding via Options, General
Preferences, Languages, as 7/8 bit (aka plain text), Quoted
Printable[*], or Base 64. ([*] indicate my current settings).
The first rule, or course, is make a note of *everything* you change,
so you can put it back if it does not work.
=46or other software, try
http://www.panix.com/~donwiss/listowner/mailconf.txt or google eg:
pegasus quoted printable base 64
If it all seems a bit too complicated, that's probably because it is.
I guess it all depends how much it annoys you and how much time you
want to spend moaning at Topica and watching them do nothing, or if
you are prepared to poke and prod it until it works

I already sent a number of messages to Topica support about their
digests being mangled once every ten messages or so, but very
irregularly (all formatting info seems to be gone, the source is almost
readable anyway). No answer or change of any kind.

Depends what software you are you using.
I found the following link by searching google on outlook font:
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/outlook2000/fontsend.aspx?v=3Dt
In agent you can just check Message, Fixed Pitch Font.
If you are posting via the web page, in Internet explorer, check the
"ignore font styles specified on web pages" option under View,
Internet Options, Accessibility, then under View, Internet Options,
=46onts pick whatever fonts suit you. I'm still running IE 4.0 so those
details may be out of date.
