I was all set to respond to Andrew's message but gave up when I 
discovered that his lines trailed off to the extreme and unreadable 
right margin, a sure sign that his yahoo account is not properly 
configured. I am particularly perturbed by this since Andrew is (or was) 
a programmer.

People reading the archives would also have trouble reading his message, 
as you can see here:

Frankly, I am getting quite annoyed with comrades' inability to send 
readable messages. If the goal is global communications between 
like-minded people, we have to make more of an effort to achieve simple 
readability. Once again, I strongly urge comrades to standardize on 
Thunderbird and if you are going to use a web-based email program, try 
gmail which seems to be less subject to this truly annoying problem.
