=============================
Greetings TIM!

 RW>>>> So am I and there is nothing wrong with Tim's reader that a bit of
 RW>>>> tweaking couldn't fix.

 TR>>> What `tweaking'?

 RW>>> Set your line-wrapping to one less character, maybe two if that
 RW>>> doesn't work. Or set it to 76 characters per line, that would take
 RW>>> care of it.

 RW>>> What your reader does is insert too many characters, which makes

 RW>>> your line wrapping

 RW>>> space your lines too far apart.

 RW>>> Something like that would help folks read you msgs easier than the
 RW>>> example shown above. Dunno why they quote back in the right format,
 RW>>> but the originals are iffy.


 TR>> No help screen to do that can be found. Maybe if I
 TR>> shortened my lines on my own would do the trick. Is
 TR>> this better?


 RW>> Yes, this works better than what you had before, but there shouldn't
 RW>> be any reason way the author of that software didn't include a way
 RW>> to do this setup rather than you having to do it manually.

 TR> The guy who wrote this software no longer supports it, and its
 TR> also no longer sold. Much of the software is disabled in this
 TR> free version, and I don't think you can buy the program anymore.

I just downloaded it from someplace on the internet. I'll have to take a
look at it when I get a chance.

 TR> Nobody ever said anything about this, and I've been using
 TR> this OLR for probably 15 years or more.

Too many of us are polite enough to not say anything, unless it becomes a
technical matter. OTH, some people toss and turn at night if they can't
get their way in such matters as using what they believe is their
gawd-given right to stoop to insults about it. That's why he's so
unpopular with the world.

 RW>> You could follow my format of 78 characters/line. My reader allows
 RW>> the user to configure that, so my longest line is never longer than
 RW>> 78 characters.

 TR> Maybe if I can get into the part of Windows that controls how
 TR> typed text is presented I might be able to change the number of
 TR> characters per line. I'll look for it later today.

Ok...


    Have a day!
