I already have HTML > and RTF turned off. Yes! I don't know anyone that can blow through mailing list chaff quickly in any of the GUI-fied mailers. I like to read/compose mail without ever taking my hands off the keyboard... I don't want my mailboxes spread over 16 machines for the next person to peek at, and we don't run an IMAP MTA yet... You know, I can even click on web links in my crunchy old mailer? I don't even have to see the ads (hello lynx!). If I so desired, I could have Netscape fire up for this purpose as well. > As soon as I find the wrap switch, I'll hit it. Edit->Prefs->mail&news->messages->"wrap outgoing, plain text messages at X chars" Not to start a religious war, but I really must say every GUI MUA I've ever touched is bloated, clunky, non-intuitive, slow, and mouse-click heavy. :) Charles > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of > > David Lesher > > Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2000 5:46 AM > > To: smd@clock.org > > Cc: nanog@merit.edu > > Subject: Re: Please Format Your Posts > > > > > > > > Unnamed Administration sources reported that smd@clock.org said: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Or is it a lost cause to expect people to be concerned about > > > the number of characters on a line, when they are arguing > > > that we shouldn't worry about the number of globally-known > > > routing prefixes? > > > > I would hope not, but.... > > > > One alternative is to regard unwrapped lines, HTML, 20 line sigs, > > and ms-tref as scoring; they help you evaluate the poster, as > > well as her/his post. > > > > > > > > > > -- > > A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com > > & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX > > Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 > > is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 > >
