Only paragraphs longer than that will be wrapped.              This is exactly what I did once in the past. :) The combination of       WRAP_WIDTH 997 and FLOWED OFF was a pretty good choice.              CN> It works (in fact, other NNTP servers do that), but there are       CN> issues with some newsreaders, e.g. Thunderbird.
