I think the operative word here is 'can'. Even Microsoft Outlook *can* produce good output, but most people seem to have trouble with it without even noticing the fact. The longest line in this message is currently 72 characters (the one with <g> in it). If you have Netscape Mail set the way you describe, when you reply it will wrap this line incorrectly. I don't know of any workaround for this bug. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
