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. :-)
