Edg - I think Yahoo's editor sucks. 

I try to improve on it by using my text editor to compose 
(http://www.editpadpro.com/). I set 72 chars line length and use the 
option to convert line wrapping to line breaks. Then I paste that back 
to Yahoo.

But far all I know my posts are crap when viewed in folks' email 
clients (er...I mean look like crap).
