It is easy, I start a sentence at the begin of a line and goto the
next one before its gets to long.
I may add a paragraph or so where required but I rarely post long
pieces of proza...

I know, I havent seen them either, all my Agent msgs come in as
black... except for links! (I may even be wrong about the colour...)

As you say its personal but on the groups where I post it would be a
total waste...
Anyway, I understand why you want it and different newsgroups have
different users/requirements...

Different usage as you say..
I want my news to transfer fast and thus save money, be multiple
server and be convenient to use.
Admittedly Agent isnt all I would want but the editor part has never
bothered me.
ONLY time I ever had problem was that I didnt know that every window
can set its own scroll lock so it that keys gets pressed in the wrong
window it can cause a lot of headscratching. Luckily their support
sorted it out fast
Best regards,
tracer
