Todd,

Is there any possibility of curing this line-wrapping problem at the • LUGNET
end?  I'm wondering if there is any difference in the CR/LF codes between
those "native" to the .dat file and those added by news/mail programs.  If • so,
perhaps the added ones could be removed before the article is posted?

I realize this problem isn't your fault.  If we users could just remember • to
change our line width, this wouldn't be a problem.  But, I don't really • see
that happening consistently, so other solutions should be explored.

Is it possible to send an attachment with a news article, much like the • web
interface?  If that could be implemented, it would solve the problem as • well.

Any other ideas (besides the face-slapping utility)?

-John Van

Hi John,
What line width are we supposed to use?  Mine is set at 76.
Thanks,
Adam
