[12-23-09 23:21]: I have tried sending HTML messages to openSUSE fora - and they get rejected.
That is a "Good Thing"(!TM).
All my messages are written to be sent in HTML format - EXCEPT those destined for specific sites which do not accept HTML, which include openSUSE.
TB does not deliberately format to down-size messages but displays what is received. All messages from openSUSE come in as plain text and word-wrapped at 72-chars.
Hummm, your first sentence above is 76 chars after removing the quote indicators :^)
Sounds OK (at 76 without the quote indicator) but 77 taking into account the CR at the end, or 78 overall. The last time I had to "worry" about how many chars an editor has to 'display' before doing a word-wrap was back ~1991. I can only conclude that specs used in internet communications have altered a bit.
However, I have seen some messages coming in from people which are NOT word-wrapped at 72-chars. Why this is so I cannot say, nor care really because I can read them as TB simply displays them across the wide-screen monitor which I have.
This message I am writing is being written in wide-screen format (24" wide) but I bet that you see it word-wrapped at 72-chars :-) .
I am certain that your 24 inch wide screen has something to do with that, possibly even causing your 72 char wrap to fail. Believe what you wish.
I believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Superman, that Nobody Does Anything For A Selfish Reason, but I do not believe that my monitor fiddles with what is being displayed. The monitor does only what it is told.
this message hand chiseled in marble with lines broken at 72 chars washed with rocket fuel.
