Not if you get *descent* mail client. Every mail client I've ever used wraps the email for me if it is not done so already. You just need to stop telling other people how to send emails and get a email cleint that works. > Your mails seem to have very long lines because your client either > doesn't wrap at all or you have told it not to do so. It is his email - he can send it however he pleases. If it bothers you so much - fix your email cleint or get a new one. You've been complaining about this for years now - get a new cleint. > it's common and polite practice to cut lines to a decent > length.

It is decent and polite practice to fix your own email reader to work and stop bugging other people about *your* problem. The world isn't going to change for you. Every email client I've ever touched - Outlook, Thunderbird, Netscape, Mozilla, Mail (for OS X) all of them wrap text on *incoming* email. I suggest one of those. -Chad Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
