That's the annoying part. Just out of curiosity, what mailer is your
friend using?

And finally I get to the answer. Place your cursor anywhere in the
line, and use the Alt-L shortcut. This reflows the text and maintains
the quoting. Try it and see the effects. It is very handy indeed.
As you might have guessed, there are more tricks you can do with the
Alt-L shortcut, I can explain them in more detail if you want.

This is because the paragraphs are all one big line. But in the
viewer, TB will wrap the text to the widow width (with some
provisions.) However, when you're editing, TB displays *exactly* what
you will send out (at least in the message body). So one long line
appears as one long line.
> Thanks in advance.
Hope this helped.
