Well, it would be very nice of you if you have your Right_Margin set right (see word-wrap problem above) and try to use CAPITAL letter on new paragraph so other could tell it's the new paragraph not word-wrapping problem etc.. English is my 2nd language and who knows I may be able to learn something from you (actually like many people have problem understand my poor Engflish, your English seems too perfect for me to understand). BTW, I do not try to connect you but to point out the word-wrap problem we (may not all but some) have with your message. /P my reader program does not have the word wrap problem you describe,,,>>>> /P I use ENTER KEY to begin a new line /P and in the quoted text /P I see a ">" before each line /P I use caps and punctuation infrequently SORRY /P as this is a not an HTML or rich text format group I cannot set a margin I am using plain text format maybe you have to set word wrap on your side?? /P eecummings fan |
