Hey Alan!

 AI> Maurice and probably others can give you better information than
 AI> I can.

The only information I can add is that it was never about other's messages
(ie the ones they create) but instead the messages I create that somewhere
along the line got editted which should never happen.  What was happening,
and now seems to be fixed, was that \r's were added to my messages that
weren't there to start with.  That other's editors decide to wrap at 80
columns, or whatever amount of columns, is up to them despite my belief
that it should never be done.  I think it should be up to the viewer of
messages that should decide where to wrap given the display the viewer is
reading any particular message.

That is my story and I am sticking with it.

Life is good,
Maurice
