Hi Jo -- I found no problem reading your posting -- Nevertheless, there is a setting that you can change that governs the line length of outgoing text email. It is settable in Netscape email (for Communicator version 4.0 and later). Many listservers limit line length to 72 characters. Here is a webpage that tells you how to do this for most major browsers. http://www.dolan.acu.edu/howto/howtoEmailPlainText.htm You will find the instructions below at the url above also (with graphics, too). >From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. Then select Messages under the Mail & Newsgroups category. There, you will find a box where you can specify the line length for word wrapping of your outgoing plain text messages [i.e. won't apply to messages written with html]. If you use Bill Gates' IE/ Outlook, etc, look for instruction at the url above. To text what differences in line lengths look like, simply compose and send some test emails to yourself at your own email address -- but not to the list. // Gord Hines (in Regina SK CA) "J.
