QWK's line breaks aren't an annoyance -- they're never exposed to the
outside world.

QWK doesn't distinguish between lines and paragraphs, so a QWK line break
is generally translated to a hard CR. (It's implementation-dependent
exactly what happens, but in any case, the Pi characters don't make it
out.) That does mean that QWK-posted messages usually aren't in true
"paragraph form". So, if you find that annoying, then yeah. :-) I can't say
that it bothers me, but then I always read (and write) in 80 columns, and
my reader rewraps when quoting, so I can hardly tell the difference.

BTW, this message comes to you via BW, not QWK, but my text editor broke it
into lines, so the effect is the same.
