Hi Peter,

Do you like reading messages looking like this?

( I quote your message to Ian Moote on 1999-08-29 at 00:00 )

============ Begin =============
  Great tip - but I sure miss the ability to drag the page off the face
(2.02)
onto a PMStripper Object for "intelligent" stripping of the HTML.  I find
4.61
faster at rendering and quite stable but I can't get over the feeling I'm
using
a WIN port rather than a native OS/2 product like I think 2.02 was.  I'm
grateful to IBM that I now have a browser that reports itself as "new"
allowing
e into sites that used to choke on a -3, but I'll be one of the first to
move
to a native OS/2 browser if we ever see one.......

============= End =============
Just to be sure my mail reader is not responsible, I separately
unzipped the QWK file, opened the MESSAGE.DAT file with a heavy duty
editor (CEDIT allows lines longer than 300000...), searched for your
message somewhere in that big chunk, and copied it to another file
where I replaced all the newline characters (QWK style, Alt-227) by
the standard PC newline (CR-LF).
I'm sure you didn't wrote your message just like this. I don't know
where your lines are split, but I think it could be when your
off-line reader (and writer...) takes on from your editor. Could you
look at your replies before sending them? Or even after that, after
the new download of the echo?
Anyway, the right thing to do is to limit the length of your lines
(in your editor) a few characters less than now. (Even as short as 72
characters per line, if you expect to be quoted). 
   L.A.
