Yes, .... It's a pre-M$ matter of Netiquette

you've posted this many times, and I'd hate to encourage
the 'new to the net' to form a bad habit, _but_ my Kmail renders
junk, err I mean, .html acceptably It's still clueless S!+t tho.

back in the good'ol days it was 65 chars, one ..no more than 2
pages, only quote the text you're responding to.

We havt'a deal with those so new that they've never used a
typewriter. PEOPLE, the <Enter> key is really (originally)
termed... 'carriage return'. Yep!, that's right! if you press it,
automagically your next word will begin another line of type.
"Oh, but it looks right on my (M$) email program"
Tough, it's still you're responsibility to post with Netiquette

Thanks John, but i believe it's an uphill battle tryin to educate

You can always tell how many got a computer for Christmas
'cause their posts are 4 monitors wide. Biggest problem is, it's
been going on now for more'n few Christmas'
I've gotten to the point that I just hit the <Delete> key when
the 2nd half (or more) of the sentence falls off the edge of the
world.
<rant off> (but I'm gonna send it anyways)
