I too found that this script's approach wasn't great. Another reason why I didn't use it. I wasn't aware of the wrapping being done on encoded data, though. Or that it would make a difference. I think I'd choose to skip checking line length altogether and take the brute force route: just add a space at the end of any paragraph that starts with a quote mark and ends with a period. This won't cause any harm except unwanted line feeds in the same few cases where the current script does (some quotes are probably followed by an extra blank line when that space happens to be wrapped alone). We can live with that, and it's much better than all the supid quotes wrapping done by most other mailers anyway. I'm not doing it right now. Feel free to give it a try anybody. ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
