  Re: "The Matrix:Reloaded " & "X2 :X-Men United" available in DVD now
 
(...) About the same as the original message. (...) I do lots of similar clean-up in my e-mail replies, and I might not have remembered to put carriage returns in when shifting the ">" marks around. I just did a preview on this message, and it was (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  ">" line wrapping subtleties
 
(...) OK, that's consistent with the way <TEXTAREA WRAP=SOFT> behaves. (...) Do you mean that you go in and edit text in the quoted ">" lines? I was guessing that's what happened... you typed something that caused the paragraph to reformat, and your (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: ">" line wrapping subtleties
 
(...) nah, some people (like myself) do use the > and < every so often in posts. Having the server cut it off and start a new line will not give me the desired effect. I think the only thing that needs to be done is for posters to hit the 'enter' (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: ">" line wrapping subtleties
 
(...) yah, but do you do it on lines that are 120+ characters long? :-) (...) nod. (...) ya, preview is wicked important...even with plain text!! --Todd (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "The Matrix:Reloaded " & "X2 :X-Men United" available in DVD now

And tell me what shows up now in the preview display? I think I made the form (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: ">" line wrapping subtleties
 
(...) Hey, y'know what? Maybe the server is taking enough responsibility here for the mistake.

(...) It looks normal, regardless of whether I use carriage returns to seperate the lines, or if I let the lines wrap to the ">" marks. (...)
