... <snip> A> When I write a paragraph, how does it get sent if I use plain A> text? Exactly as seen. TB has already used hard CR/LF pairs at the end of each visible line to signify end of line, so it has nothing to do but send the message. A> Do most programs split the paragraph into actual lines as soon A> as it is sent? I cannot vouch for most programs. I can guess that some may do it that way. I personally prefer TB's honesty. A> Or can it be sent as one long line, and then the email client wraps A> it upon receipt? This also can be seen to happen - and boy, is it annoying! My folder browse windows (I work mostly in the Ticker Message Browser) is wide enough to show quite a few columns of data from the message list. The width of the window is dictated by my need to see this data. Long lines are wrapped to the width of that window and it is just plain wrong that they were sent to me that way IMNSHO. What we know for sure is that the only way to express a line break in email body text is with a CR/LF. What we also know for sure is that the only way to express a paragraph break is with a sequence of 2 CR/LF characters. This is not about TB or any other client. It is about the email standard - RFC822, which says stuff about 70 character line limits and how to delimit such things. I know, I know - there are reworks of this standard with higher version numbers, but RFC822 still says an enormous amount about how email headers and bodies are formatted. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v4.2.10.8 on Windows Vista 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 '
