Thanks for your comments!
You can insert carriage returns all day and all night if you
wish =without= ill effect =if= you do not use Netscape's
"Navigator" for e-mail. It is only with that software that
free-wheel carriage-returning causes problems.
I limit my line-lengths exclusively by means of carriage-
returns (I use Mustang's "Off-Line Express").

Howsoeverbethatasitmay (and it indeed may) - there seems
to be more at work than mere libertine line-lengths -- as
you and several others are gradually making clear.
