Hi! Trying to kill the keyboard, nelsen@telusplanet.net produced:

...

can you tell eml somehow to issue line breaks? your lines look endless, sometimes hard to read.

Newbie wonders; Are there not Linux mail and news clients that feature word wrap?

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". If you've nothing at all to hide, you must be boring. Unsolicited Bulk E-Mails: *You* pay for ads you never wanted. Is our economy _so_ weak we have to tolerate SPAMMERS? I guess not. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
