My email client is Eudora 6.2.3 for Mac. It has the option of automatically 
hard-wrapping one's text, but I wouldn't think of using it as my default, since 
this list is the only place I have any complaints about text that doesn't have 
ugly, semantically meaningless line breaks. About 5 years ago, a comrade 
complained to me about the problem, but I told him how to set his email program 
to soft-wrap text in messages he was viewing, and I haven't had a complaint 
from him or anybody else since!

I'm curious, btw, what email client you're using, Louis, since it seems to 
misbehave when encountering perfectly-correctly-formatted text .

But I'll really try to remember to hard-wrap messages I send to this list. 
Actually doing it isn't hard, since all I have to do is (1) "Select All" and 
then (2) choose "Wrap Selection" from the Edit menu.
