Why should everyone reading it have to copy and paste things back

little green screen linux system, FFS do NOT wrap a single word.

Here's an idea! If you would have *read* the sub-thread, you would
have read that the "moron"'s newsreader is behaving perfectly
well/compliant and that "everyone" is only those people with a *broken*
newsreader.

The URL was properly delimited (with '' and ''), so any folding is
irrelevant. Period.

But considering that the lines your newsreader emits are non-compliant
(too long), I can understand that it sucks to be one in the set
"everyone".

barf! I hadn't spotted this part, too funny:

If you don't stop moaning about standards I'm going to post in html.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15; format=flowed; delsp=yes

Quite impressive, declaring 'format=flowed', but then failing to
actually do so!

The whole point of format flowed is it flows. How can it flow if I stick carriage returns into it? YOU can wrap my text to YOUR screen at whatever point you wish, I'm not stopping you. But your posts have hard CRs in them causing me to see a narrow column half the width I want. Stop dictating how I see your text.

What was that again about "some moron is using a newsreader"!?

But I take it all back, the "moron" isn't using a newsreader:

User-Agent: Opera Mail/1.0 (Win32)

Email and news messages can be thought of as the same thing. The only difference is where they're stored and how many people see them. Why wouldn't you use the same program for both?

QED.

HTH. HAND. EOD. NK.

Using excessive acronyms means you're either a geek, an idiot, or you're in human resources.
