What program are you using for writing a message to the list? Do you read the list messages in a browser (Internet Explorer, for example) and reply online? Or do you use a separate email program? The "free verse" line breaks are caused by (1) the line breaks that your outgoing program inserts into your message and (2) the line breaks in the message that the list sends to us and back to you. If your outgoing message has longer lines than the messages from teh list, then the lines will wrap like you see. Check the preferences in the program for outgoing messages. Select the option to "wrap lines to window" or similar wording. That should prevent the program from inserting unnecessary line breaks in your outgoing messages. I think. If the problems persist, then take Woody Allen's advice to himself about his psychiatrist. If it doesn't work, go to Lourdes. :-) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
