I never got LifeLines compiled back then. That was probably my loss.) I don't know much about the Google interface. Unless their interface is terribly broken, it _ought_ to be possible to manually break lines at some reasonable limit (72 or so is the old standard). Have you considered using slrn with a non-Google news server? There are a bunch of free and fairly low-cost options. When Verizon dropped newsgroups, I switched to news.individual.net and have been quite happy with them for about US$16/yr.

    3. Robert, I am the LifeLines guy. Yeah, the google interface allows infinite sized lines, and doesn't hard wrap them before sending to the new reader. So I'm hard wrapping them myself now. Thanks. Tom
