I have fill-column 55. You seem to have 70-ish, but I don't see that because Gnus fills your length to mine, so to speak. That auto-filling is great, for example I am never bothered by people posting from Google Groups (those blank lines in between are filled away). The only drawback is when source code is posted; I usually take a look and if it seems like something I could use, I do `C-u g' to get the (entire) article without any washing. The reason for 55 you can find here - I use a projector, so the screen is 3-4 meters from me, and I like a big font (face) at that: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/dumps/lines.png So you see, when you get to know me, I'm not that crazy... :) PS. Speaking of this, I like reading magazines a lot, like "The Ring", "Black Belt", "Linux Magazine", and so on. Those typically have three columns a page, and they are very pleasant to read. Probably the professional writers write in a way to make it easy to digest, but the form contributes as well, no doubt. So I think people actually have too long lines! But like I said, I had Gnus solve that for me :) DS. -- underground experts united _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
