Which > are not what I'd call 'real' email clients. Then you don't hang out on Usenet, or many technical mailing lists. The *vast* majority of messages I see on my 19 mailing lists (over 500 messages a day) are hard wrapped, where they're not HTML -- and we strongly discourage HTML; many lists hard-bounce it. And with good reason: http://expita.com/nomime.html Hell, even Outlook Web Access with Exchange 5.5 wraps replies to 78 columns. I was pleasantly surprised to find out. Still cant mark quotes properly. You came up out of Fidonet, didn't you? :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
