Because it isn't actually the receiving end that is "deciding". E-mail is sent with hard returns at the end of a line. Only thing is, OE/OL and some other clients don't show them *before* sending. TB! does because it uses a true WYSIWYG editor. Every client I know has a wrap setting. > I see very few, if any, who do that here. What kind of argument is that? Reminds me of the "new" German way to establish what is ethical and what not - give the problem in question to a committee and they should vote on it. After that it goes into parliament, where again a vote is cast. In the end it is a more or less capable majority defining what is right or wrong.

Whatever, isn't it easier to conform to such modest requests? As we have all seen the "more capable" clients' messages, we might conclude that they are *not* more capable. BTW, TB! wraps so good that one doesn't even need the special setting in PGP, which was introduced because of the "more capable" apps. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.60j on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C The most powerful strategy in life is tit-for-tat.
