This is exactly how I received it at my end.  Still looks awful.

Oh well, could be worse, I suppose.  Just as a bit of a gag once, I use WFW
as my editor in Msged, and it worked just fine (albeit a tad slowly).  :)

Dunno what the problem is with my message formatting, but on that stuff
which you've quoted back to me, it's as if your editor has added a CR at
each wrap (which in Msged, does not normally have a CR/LF pair).  This
makes for easier quoting, without the problem of line length entering into
it.

Regards, Bill
