I couldn't find any information on this page about the "computer output" topic. Is there a better method within Mozilla/Thunderbird than specifying a line length long enough for the "computer output" and then manually breaking the normal text lines? How about other mailers? Which one would allow a better method? And how? Maybe you could add a few words on your page, Greg? Ciao Siegbert P.S.: Nice collection of bassoons, Greg. :-)
