Are you aware that your messages seem to have no
carriage returns and don't wrap in some message
viewers? Please don't take this as a complaint,
but this makes it more difficult to read, as I
have to scroll horizontally outside the normal
message viewing area. And it seems your messages
are worth reading as they contain some thoughtful
comment.
I am aware, and I do try to avoid it. As I've said in a private mail to someone,
my company believes that everyone should use microshaft outhouse for email. I'm
really lucky to have gotten it to send messages in ASCII :/ Never mind wrapping
the lines. So I do it by hand, when I remember and when I'm not rushed.
Regards,
Chris

Actually, if you manually format your text, it will be fooled with anyway by
whatever reader the recipient is using. Few readers will scroll beyond the
margins, since most of them will allow you to set line width as a parameter.
Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express have a setting which will limit the
width of lines that it transmits and receives. While it lets you type to
the width of your display, it wraps lines by inserting "> " or whatever else
you choose, at the left margin of quoted received text, and <crlf> at the
limits you set. After a few iterations, quoted text becomes quite difficult
to read, and more so if it's formatted both manually and automatically.
