 That statement isn't correct Carter...you mentioned getting odd 
 length lines, only a couple of words in some, that's caused 
 because you have two sets of line feeds working. The only one 
 that YOU can control is yours, I'll bet that if you remove your 
 incoming word wrap that your received text will be a lot neater.

 Of course, because YOUR linefeeds were wrapping them, but don't 
 you see that if the incoming linefeeds are set at say 65 then you 
 cannot ever have lines longer than 65?, no matter what your own 
 linefeeds are set at?.

 No they certainly were not Carter, I counted one which was over 
 250 characters long.

 Of course, but you have very choppy lines on your own screen, 
 some short, some long (but likely not over 65 or so)...my only 
 point is to point out that if you removed your INCOMING linefeeds 
 (line-wrapping) then your screen text would be much neater for 
 you.
