On this, I'm afraid I don't have any idea, but... > I'm working on getting him to press carriage return from time to time > as he types, but he is somewhat set in his ways. For his "regular mail program" (POP or IMAP client of some flavour, I would assume) to *never* break his line seems incredibly, er, broken. (no pun intended) I wonder if there's any chance of convincing him to poke through the configuration menus and look for the checkbox that'll make it actually break his lines instead of just soft-wrapping them on his display. It *has* to be in there somewhere, right? Right? I realize this is a bit more complicated than hitting return, but hey: he'd only have to do it once.
