The only problem here is that your lines need to wrap at something less that 80 characters. Either you'll have to set your mail up to start a new line at, say, the 73rd character, or you'll have to whack the enter key each time you get there. Email readers aren't meant to (have to) wrap lines. It's supposed to be delivered pre-wrapped. If you're sending email to a co-worker who, like you, has been compelled to use the same software then you can do whatever tricks the software will do. If it's going out over the Internet, you have to do battle with the proprietary software to get it to obey the email standards. It's not your fault! But it becomes your problem, unfortunately. http://www.lemis.com/email.html for more info (new version).
