From: "Chris Moline" <ugly-daemon@home.com> > How is wrapping text a bad thing?? It is very irritating to get a message that > is just one big long line. I suppose what is meant is that some E-mail programs wrap text regardless of whether it is quoted from the message that is replied to or whether it is new text. Outlook Express, for instance, wraps all lines it sends at some threshold (I believe it is 76 characters), including lines preceded by a '>'. This quickly results in messy quotes. The above quote would have looked something like this: > How is wrapping text a bad thing?? It is very irritating to get a message that > is just one big long line. Personally, I manually wrap the posts I create using Outlook Express, to stop this from happening.
