   Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> And less now... ;)   
      
   I see 27 days as I reply to you.   
      
    NB> No issues from this side, but then I've not been seeing whatever   
    NB> you think is the problem with it anyway.... ;)   
      
   That is probably correct. From all the discussions we've had in the past I am   
   assuming you will always see line lengths of 80 characters or less. As I type   
   this I can look down and see on the editor's status line that this particular   
   line is 260 characters.   
      
   Doing an 80 character line wrap - I use coreutils's fold command - you will   
   probably see the above as 4 lines and it will look something like below;   
      
   -={ ye olde cut and paste starts }=-   
   That is probably correct. From all the discussions we've had in the past I am   
   assubing you will always see line lengths of 80 characters or less. As I type   
   this I can look down and see on the editor's status line that this particular   
   line is 260 characters.   
   -={ ye olde cut and paste ends }=-   
      
   However from your perspective the cut and paste is more than likely exactly   
   the same as the original. Probably a better example would be to split the 260   
   character line to 60 characters to see a difference;   
      
   -={ ye olde cut and paste starts }=-

   That *should* look different and perhaps illustrate the greater power in   
   unlimited line lengths within messages in order to facillitate differing line   
   lengths of various displays. In my case line the monitor I am currently using   
   is 160 characters wide so a message that forces line lengths to 80 is a waste   
   of an awesome terminal.   
      
    NB> We've been getting a mix of sometimes rain sometimes light snow   
      
   No snow yet, light or otherwise. :-)   
      
    NB> Mountains tend to collect snow, though.... ;)   
      
   As well as dump their loads on unsuspecting people below. As far as I know   
   that has never happened locally.   
      
   Life is good,
