Well, not a lot of luck. What I use is Yahoo mail (whatever that is---a "thick" client??), and thus far I can't find any tool bars that offer help.
An odd aside, however--I went into the Tutor Archives forum and pulled up the Page Source (HTML formatting template) and lo and behold all my paragraphs were correctly formatted (i.e. page-wrapped just as they had been when they left my mail notepad) and displayed correctly--on the source page. So,who knows...(?) >From the virtual desk of Lowell Tackett --- On Thu, 1/7/10, ALAN GAULD <[email protected]> wrote: From: ALAN GAULD <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Tutor] formatting* To: "Lowell Tackett" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: Thursday, January 7, 2010, 5:36 PM > I'm using Mandrake 10.1 [Linux] OS to view the internet thru Firefox. > In my mailbox, everything is fine--my stuff formats well (and when it > comes back to me as Tutor 'mail' it also formats correctly). > > The problem is over at the Tutor Archives (mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor), > i.e., the Tutor forum site. That's where whatever I composed formats > out with no line wrap, and a paragraph becomes a single line, Yes I see that. I don't use that archive I normally use gmane... However that is probably down to whatever mail program you are using to post with. Is it a web client or a full blown thick client mail tool like Thunderbird? Whichever, it probably has an option to automatically wrap sent text and I suspect you have that turned off. A good value is usually around 70 or 80 chars. FWIW I have the opposite problem using gmail, it consistently wraps my text prematurely leaving my paragraphs badly formatted. And I can't find where to change the setting! HTH, Alan G.
