Yes I see that. I don't use that archive I normally use gmane... However that is probably down to whatever mail program you are using to post with. Is it a web client or a full blown thick client mail tool like Thunderbird? Whichever, it probably has an option to automatically wrap sent text and I suspect you have that turned off. A good value is usually around 70 or 80 chars. FWIW I have the opposite problem using gmail, it consistently wraps my text prematurely leaving my paragraphs badly formatted. And I can't find where to change the setting! HTH, Alan G.
