I just double-checked my Yahoo! outbound message settings, and confirmed message width is fixed at 72 chars. Never had a complaint before. If you've any ideas PLMK.

No harm done. The best idea would be to not use a web-based mail client, but a real MUA like Pine, Netscape/Mozilla, etc.

Was it that obscure? If so, sorry again.
Hmm...your question wasn't obscure, but there were a lot of relevant details that had to be inferred.
] I'm trying to host a web site on a FreeBSD machine. My registrar, godaddy, ] offers a redirect service which sends requests from "www.mydomain.com" to your ] FreeBSD machine, which possibly has a dynamic IP?
Yes. I have registered a domain name at godaddy.com, and linked it to the dynamic IP address that my ISP has assigned to me. On my internal network, behind a router, I have a FBSD machine, on which I'm running apache.
In order to make all this work with a non-well-known web server port, I had
to use godaddy.com's "Domain forwarding" feature to point to the IP:port combination.
If you subscribe to a dynamic DNS service, such as dyndns.org, you can link to that name rather than the raw IP address, and that name will show up in the browser as you've asked-- assuming you configure apache with that name, as well.
>Also, are you running apache on port 80, or is that being blocked by your ISP?
My ISP blocks and monitors well-known server ports such as 80 and 21. I'm running well out of the well-known range at 10101.
There's no way to avoid the port number in the URL, then. Consider switching to a provider that lets you host local services...
