Ya, Agreed. At the time the "Brief" view-mode was conjured up, there were
relatively few messages going by with garbled line-endings, and it didn't
show up much at all. People seem to be getting a lot more lazy these days
about cleaning up their line wraps on quoted paragraphs, maybe because the
full view hides their errors and they never notice. Hmm. I wonder if a
confirm/preview page on the web interface would help this as well as problems
of forgetting or forgetting to test links. The preview would show the article
in a monospace font (not in the "All" view-mode of the web interface) but with
hyperlink-detection activated for testing prior to final posting.
