Just a tip on emailing pedigree charts and other tabular material. These can become very hard to read if the software introduces hard carriage returns before the true end of each line is reached. This problem can usually be overcome fairly easily. Most Windows software has a way to set the number of characters wide an email message will be. The default is usually somewhere between 65 and 80 (the default in Netscape Messenger is 79). Try turning this feature off or setting the character width at some large number (usually in the Preferences menu). Mine is currently set at 9999. Then, if the recipient will turn OFF Word-Wrap in their software (usually in their Edit or View menu), the lines will not be broken on their end. Voilá! Readable table and charts. It will be necessary to use the horizontal scroll bar to move left and right, but it makes for much easier reading of complex pedigree charts. The downer to this method is that text paragraphs will turn into one long line (usually limited to 256 characters), so most of the time you will want to leave Word-Wrap ON, just turning it OFF for viewing charts and tables. This message was sent with character-width at 9999. Try resizing your viewing window by making it wider and narrower. The lines of this message should word-wrap to the size of the window, however wide or narrow it is. Setting the length of lines and introducing hard carriage returns is one reason some messages tend to look like this even when your viewing window is wider than the message. I call this phenomenon the "raggies." Does anyone on the list have a problem with this message wrapping in their viewing window? I don't want to make a suggestion that ends up causing any difficulties. Diana P.S. This is a different problem from that of the recipient simply using a smaller window than the sender when the sender has set hard carriage returns. To overcome the "raggies" in this case simply requires that the recipient resize their window (widen it) until the paragraphs of text looks "normal." I'm talking about cases where, no matter how wide you make the viewing window, the text (chart, pedigree) has hard carriage returns at inappropriate places, the only solution for which is to cut and paste the text into a wordprocessor and manually remove the unwanted carriage returns.
