'we' use a lot of different mailers. a cure for one may not be
a cure for all. 'mine' is 'raw text'. I'll try to limit to
about this length, but i don't 'like' it. Since i see postings
from lots of peple getting trimmed to length, i ASSume its
taking place
in the listserver, which seems to be wrapping at 70. [i left
that last line at about 78, it should wrap one word.]
Previous to about 1 week back this was not happening.
