Another subject matter which you're ignorant about. This line-length
(non-)'problem' has a (RFC) standard solution called 'format=flowed'.
Your 'newsreader' claims to use it (also see my other response), but
fscks that one up as well.

It does it sensibly instead of following badly written standards that
pathetic linux using geeks like you use.

In the real world, there's nothing "sensible" about broken,

Broken is your opinion. It works differently. A more logical way.

but
considering your stances on other matters, in your parallel universe,
it's probably quite "sensible".

What matters exactly?

BTW (Oops!),

The odd one is fine. But you used four in one go earlier, which is just stupid. Or do you type really slow and have to use them?

the "linux using geeks like you" bit is quite humourous!
Which part of your posterior did you pull that one from!?

So I take you are a linux user but for some reason don't consider yourself a geek.

Bottom line: Get a newsreader and stop whinging about other people's
newsreaders which are working perfectly fine and in an RFC-complaint
way.

The RFCs are for morons who can't think for themselves. I bet you
follow the speed limits in your car too?

Well, you're are apparently included in this "morons who can't think
for themselves" set, because your newsreader *does* follow parts of the
RFCs, otherwise you wouldn't be reading my responses and I wouldn't be
reading yours! Sucks, doesn't it?

It does what is sensible, there will obviously be some overlap. For example the law says I should use my indicators and stick to the speed limit. I do one of those but not the other. That doesn't make me a law abiding citizen, it makes me a sensible one.
