The 4.x versions of Outlook Express have it in a similar location to
the 5.x versions. Tools -- Options -- Send tab

that says "Automatically wrap text at xx characters when sending...

Dear Babak,
Hi. I didn't actually understand what you asked.
As far as I understood from your question, it is
impossible.

As a possible solution, doesn't AccMail's listserv support Topics? How
difficult would it be to automagically set the daily statistics to a
dedicated topic (ie: STATS). That way, anyone who didn't want the stats in
their mail could just set their topics to ALL -STATS.
Or do Topics not apply to Digests? I've never experimented with them
myself, but I figured I'd forward the suggestion anyway. ^_^

Subject: SearchByMail
This little program lets you submit searches to Alta Vista, Excite and
Yahoo simultaneously via the kfs.org robot. The search results are
returned by email. It is really aimed at people with poor Internet
connections rather than *no* Connection. Requires Win95/98/NT
Send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the body, say:
get file searchi.exe
Or from http://www.netservs.com/search/

Subject: The Agora server and Deja-News searches?
Hello List members,
When I read some 4U files a couple of years ago, they contained (or had a URL
for) a very detailed document by Gerald Boyd on constructing Deja-News search
strings.
Although the recently downloaded 4U files make several references to Deja-News
searches, I can't find these precise syntax details or any reference to them.
Do they still exist?
Are they still valid?
If so, please can anyone tell me where I can find them?
TIA
Melanie

Roberto, have you been hiding? We have discussed this off and on for
the past two weeks.
Downloadslave.com is a German-based web site that provides the ability
to download ftp and http URLs via email. Help file is in German. Two
English translations have been sent to this list in the past 2 weeks
and also when it was first mentioned in Feb of this year.
The site is also in listed in my servers.html file...
The first postings on this are 668 is 669. First translation sent to
list in message 1767 second in 1775. Latest repeats of these are in
2389 and 2410.
Downslave is intended to get large files for users having bad connections.
This server has no options whatsoever. You just send a URL (current is
3 maximum) and receive a file. No MIME, no splitting of long URL
lines, no parts, no file splits, no web page images (contrary to what
some one else said I have never received one), etc.
The current maximum file size is 10,000Kb or 10Mb.
To get copies of the above listed messages, send email:

Subject: [leave blank]
Body of message

Normally, if you have an invalid email address, the mailer daemon will
send you a bounce message giving the exact details of why the message
bounced.
Other address status
Bad destination mailbox address
Bad destination system address
Bad destination mailbox address syntax
Destination mailbox address ambiguous
Destination mailbox address valid
Mailbox has moved
Bad sender's mailbox address syntax
Bad sender's system address
Other address status
Other or undefined mailbox status
Mailbox disabled, not accepting messages
Mailbox full
Message length exceeds administrative limit.
Mailing list expansion problem
Other or undefined mail system status
Mail system full
System not accepting network messages
System not capable of selected features
Message too big for system
Other or undefined network or routing status
No answer from host
Bad connection
Routing server failure
Unable to route
Network congestion
Routing loop detected
Delivery time expired
etc.
I don't quite understand when you say OE is giving the invalid email
address.

You can get the file by anonymous FTP at:
get ftp.netcom.com/pub/gb/gboyd/wsdeja.faq
Or by Agora, Getweb, or W3mail
send ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/gb/gboyd/wsdeja.faq
This was last revised on 31Jan99. Since that time dejanews has changed
the name to deja. However, if you just change the dejanews references
to deja the search strings still work just fine.

Yes, listserv does support topics. In fact with have 1, called NEWS.
Generally, topics are great for a list that has a large membership and
you break the list into many sub-lists or groups with topics. However,
here is the key problem for the List owners manual:
"... All messages posted
to the list, regardless of topic, are included in the digest and/or
index for the list (if available) because the same digest/index is
prepared and sent to all the digest/index subscribers. Similarly, all
messages posted to the list are archived in the list's notebook logs
(if available), making it possible for subscribers to retrieve
postings in topics they are not set to receive normally."
