My problem? How about over 30 years of computer programming under my belt? I think I know what I'm talking about, Judy. It is TOTAL BULLSHIT to self format these days. Programmers only do that in code to keep it readable and at their discretion. Email is not a programming editor and neither is the web interface. No need to add line feeds unless you want to make some point doing so like entering a poem. Apparently for some people old habits die hard. :-D Probably FFL would have been better off as a forum website. There you can use quote options. HTML will auto format according to the brower's panel size with a paragraph tag at the beginning and end of a paragraph. No line feed needed. Yahoo Groups email is sent in two formats: plain text and HTML. > >> And nothing looks worse >> than this >> for a short sentence. > Which happens how often?
