- I just scanned a number of posts in sci.stat.edu, which is
EDSTAT-L, and I don't see any that are truncated/wrapped.
I do see messages, now and then, in some groups, that
have been line-wrapped by some agency. And I can set
a VIEW option in Forte Agent that might provide truncation,
or it will line-wrap for those messages where the whole
paragraph has been sent as a single line.
But I don't see a problem today. And I don't have any
line-problem with a message that you posted a couple
of days ago.
So, I think you are reporting on a feature of the mail program
or the Newsreader that you happen to be using, or a feature
of the OPTIONS of the program.
You can keep lines short to avoid causing those problems,
for whomever.... Or you can keep them short just to make
them easier to read.
