Good mail readers (MUAs, Mail User Agents) do allow you to choose your favourite editor(s). You are not bound to just the one who is 'bundled' with it, so you may use emacs or pico, joe or vi or whatever you happen to like and use all the time. Now, most MUAs check for a correct line length (unless configured not to do so), and *will* tell you that you might want to shorten your lines. Elm is quite decent and reminds you. To answer your question: most editors do have word wrapping. And people with lines > 80 Chars are either posting source code (or such stuff), or are lazy (or are using a bad/misconfigured MUA). -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key".

I appreciate the feedback from "the real world." To answer your ?s: * I have no idea why the dup X-Mailer headers appear. I'll check .muttrc again. * I nulled the References and I-R-T headers intentionally. What do they really add? Who actually looks at/uses them?

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] FireGL 1000 X-Server Not Working

The updated bios is at www.diamondmm.com. It's where I got it. It should be at the bottom of the list of drivers. upport -> drivers/firmware -> fire gl 1000 pro <A HREF="http://www.diamondmm.com/products/drivers/firegl-1000pro.html"><A HREF="http://www.diamondmm.com/products/drivers/firegl-1000pro.html</A">http://www.diamondmm.com/products/drivers/firegl-1000pro.html</A</A>> If you have just the regular 1000 I think the only difference is that it has 4MB of memory and it is the oem version. I have the 1000 pro. Check the readme in with the bios to confirm that it works with both cards. Also you may want to check out the permedia section at 3dlabs they have links to linux/X11 information for the chipset.
