Maybe if you use the return key to denote a new line and not let your 
e-mail program automatically default to a new line at the end of your 
72 characters.  When that happens, I simply copy the text, click on 
the author's address and a new e-mail is addressed to p-tech with the 
subject; then paste the text and read; delete the new mail - don't 
send it unless you want to replay in which case you can edit out 
irrelevant text.

The top paragraph was types using the default line length,
no return key used.  This section is using the return.

Let's see if that makes a difference. I use Eudora so another
program or web-based reader will handle the formatting
differently.

I have noticed that if I do not use the return key soon enough in the 
line, the archives will
automatically chop the line and insert it before the 'returned' line.
(That was written in two lines)
