Although this is OT for this thread. One more thing. I don't read the list by opening all of the posts. I read the lists in my preview pane as I quickly scan the unread ones (chronologically). If there is a forced word-wrap, the rewrapping in the preview pane is rather, um, distracting, as it

Much better - thanks. Any further responses will not be top posted. Clients typically are set to view to screen width (yours does). However as you can see, replying to such creates an issue; hence the issue of what you see below. Unwrapped posts places the onus on person replying to your posts to

I see my own posts all of the time. That is my check that the post made it to the list. It is rare that I don't see one. I only have one e-mail address on this list, the same one that I post from and that I registered on the list with. I can imagine some arrangements that would have my seeing
