Okay, I think that I figured it out. This line should auto-wrap at 70 chars. I couldn't find the button because it is hidden when using mime types, encoded printable. It is now found and checked-boxed. Please reply and let me know if this wraps properly. My MUA automatically wraps it for me so I cannot tell the difference from this end. In response fo many helpful clues, I suggested Netscape becasue it also runs under Unix. In my case, I and using MS-Outlook2K, part of MS-Office2K, under Win2K, on a DELL latitude CS. Yes, that's a laptop. I left EudoraPro for this setup because of corporate org benefits, the mail hub is HP OpenMail, rather than exchange. I refuse to use MS servers, they crash too much (Caldera eServer is much better). The non-MS solutions simply require too much general magic and have large a tinker-factor to get them to work right. I use Netscape on my Caldera Linux/KDE workstation. For those who may need this information in the future: In Outlook2K/Tools/Option/Internet E-mail tab check MIME radio button set "Encode text using: None set wrap value(opt.). Agreed, not exactly intuitive and MS moves it elsewhere every new version, like it's an easter egg.
