Hi Peter,
I recall you are using the lazarus mailing list to send posts/mails,
but you use gmane as news reader ? (if it is not your case, ignore above
statement...)
>From the headers it appears you are using Exim to post.
It is incredibly frustrating since something mangles tabs/spaces/newlines on
the way (AND I don't think it's my Thunderbird...? because everybody else's
posts are OK)
rendering the code you post completely unreadable.

also the below line I quote I can only see a very very long one, no line breaks.

(My mailer/news reader is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.2.17) Thunderbird/3.1.10 )
I'm not using automatic wordwrap in my postings too, because code sometimes
exceeds 80 chars and thunderbird is
less forgiving than Lazarus' SynEdit when it comes to wrapping;
But at least please try to format your code manually when you paste it...
If nobody else sees this but me, feel free to ignore; but if somebody has
a similar issue reading your posts, please back me :)
Kind Regards,
Lukasz
