Gail;

Your message is perfectly formatted for my mailing system with line-wrap
working as it should. I can see that you have only used the <Enter> key at
the end of paragraphs.

Line-wrap is the default setting for most software that I've ever used and
being a consultant in the use of the Internet I've come across a number.
I'm currently using Eudora 3.0.2 and rarely have line-wrap problems with
incomming messages. If I do get a problem its usually caused by one of two
conditions; the auther has used the <enter> key at the end of each line or
the message has been "cut and pasted" with a word processor that has
translated "soft returns" into "hard returns". The "soft return" is an
end-of-line marker that floats with the size of your current window and
makes the line-wrap possible. The "hard return" is created by the <enter> key.

My comments above relate to PC-based software only. Messages that come from
non-PC systems, such as UNIX boxes, often don't use line-wrap in the
mailing software.

Hope this helps, but; Gail, I'd like to know what software you actually
use to send to Tweeters and, if you can find out, the message format
(UUENCODE or MIME). My reason for asking is that I'm getting an attachment
with your messages that converts into a empty file.

Thanks
