line breaks in my messages, why does this happen ?

Todd,

When I enter a message thru the web interface, then click preview, the raw text
(in the edit window) comes back with hard line breaks at the end of each line.
Why does this happen ?

In case it matters, I'm using MacOS 8.1, Netscape 4.5.

This also caused a URL I put in to line break. You can see this at...
<http://news.lugnet.com/market/theory/?n=1679>

Am I doing something wrong ? One possible solution to the URL problem would be
if the edit area was wider (although I suspect that this could break people on a
screen smaller than 17").

(...) Because the form says <TEXTAREA NAME="Body" COLS=79 ROWS=20 MAXLENGTH=65000 WRAP=HARD> It's the WRAP=HARD part that asks for the hard line breaks. (...) No, but I think your web browser is. With other browsers, WRAP=HARD only applies at word (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
