Hello,
Just wanted to make the point that MUAs should *not* put in line breaks except for new paragraphs. Any decent MUA that is reading the message will perform the line wraps for you based on the size of your window.
It is really a kludge to force the sender to put in line breaks every 72 char

Dudes. The problem is with the sender. You have some folks using an
MUA that does not put in hard returns in the email.
Most MUA's will do an automatic line-wrap so they don't notice it.
The archives don't do a line-wrap. If you want YOUR archive to line
wrap, then run the archive mbox through
Hi J C,
Regarding the principle of least surprise, the messages that have long lines
in the archives arrive in my inbox perfectly formatted. So, it was a surprise
to me that they did not line wrap in the archives. I suspect that AOL did
this for me though I haven't researched it.
To me, conten

Hi
I posted this question to the list before but did not see a response so I
thought I'd try again.
Anyway - I'm new to managing a list and we've notice that for our archives
