I think most of these people would be surprised to find that their email client still wraps the text for them. Most email clients do (or at least did) a hard wrap because SMTP servers can be tempermental with lines longer than 254 characters (and some older ones don't like lines longer than 80 characters). So maybe short of poor cheap clients, and MS clients (wait, I guess that fits in the poor cheap clients catagory), I suspect most email clients still wrap the text. The "no wrap" option probably only deals with the way the text is displayed on the screen. Emailer actually does that already, it does soft wrapping on the outgoing message screen, and doesn't actually hard wrap the text until it is sent to the server. And if someone DOES have a client that really doesn't wrap the text at all, they probably don't want that feature active as it is just a matter of time before their message hits a server that chokes on the long text line and cuts it off. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
