This editor I am using now (GoldED) will save        paragraphs as one long line. If I were to reply to you with on offline reader        like MultiMail lines would be saved as I see them on the screen, likely with        CR/LF line endings.              I prefer when editors use one long line for a paragraph. Then readers can wrap        those lines as appropriate for the terminal size being used by the reader        instead of wrapping as the writer sees it since they could be different.               Ttyl :-),        Al              ...
