   Message Editor Line Length?

   Hello There,   
      
   Another question? Is there an option in BBBS to set the HTML message editor   
   line length in BBBS? I am asking because when I author a message as I am doing   
   now then read the posted message elsewhere the actual length of the line in   
   the message is quite different. Here in the HTML editor as I write this   
   message the line length appears to be about 75 characters in length. But when   
   I read an authored message elsewhere each line is seemingly only limited by   
   the width of the screen. I have tried using [Enter] to end each line written   
   at a desired length. But that seems to have no effect on the line length when   
   the message is read. I have tried reading the same message from different   
   remote locations using different message readers but the results seem to be   
   the same. Using Golded to read a message remotely that is created by the BBBS   
   HTML editor has a displayed line length of 150 characters. Only the text   
   entered by the BBBS message editor has a line length of 150. All other quoted   
   text is about 75 characters. I understand that this may not apply when using   
   the regular BBS editor when logged in via telnet. Is there a setting to change   
   line length/word wrap or this a non-configurable item. If so... How hard would   
   it be to be configurable?
