Pray tell why are we supposed to avoid hard returns?
It is by the use of the return that one can control
the appearance or formating of the text. BTW I used
hard returns to limit the width if this response to
a maximum of 52 characters! Do you or anyone else
see anything wrong or problematic with this?
As far as I know the only problem with using hard
returns is if you are using Netscape Navigator as
your e-mail client, apparently it causes some other
e-mail clients problems or so I've heard.
Also, are you restricted as to what e-mail program
you can use with AOL? If not then why not try out
Pegasus Mail. I have tried every e-mail program
available as free, share and demo - ware and I
can honestly say that Pegasus Mail has every
feature of all the other existing e-mail programs
and then some! It is easy to set your line width
and it's FREE!
Sincerely
