-=> Quoting Maurice Kinal to Nancy Backus on 01 Nov 09  16:39:40 <=-

Having seen your next, I'm leaving the full quote in so you can see what
the quote editor does with it.   The only thing it really changes is to
take out leading spaces...  :)

Note that the break that your wordwrap made is in the middle of a word
("i s").  Apparently my editor looked for a hyphen to break it...  ;)

I haven't a clue how web apps work, as I'm not usually using them.  :)

The Bluewave reader makes all lines fit onto the one screen, so it
obviously has some sort of built-in wrap.  And the quoting takes into
account that there are extra characters at the beginning of the line, so
it does a new wrap.  The text editor I use with BW (and for my usual
stabs at composition) is MicroEMACS (for DOS).  It has a wrap you can
set and implement as desired...  so that is being used as I type... :)
