Please instruct your Netscape to use shorter lines: Usenet convention is
to keep original text within 72 columns, which allows modestly nested
quoting before anything falls off the right hand side of an 80-column
device.
How many people still use 80 column devices? (serious
question).
All the newsreaders I've seen autowrap, and short lines make
a mess
of autowrap, depending on the gateways they pass through.
This is why I chose to use long lines - they autowrwap
gracefully, and cut and paste gracefully.
But if there is sufficient call for it, I'll change
to 72 chars (or less, since I've seen many widow words)
