G'day All,
thank you for that.
I lost interest in the thread after it got more attack oriented than
sensible.
But this one bit seemed to keep cropping up and I am not sure what it
means
it's this
"80 column boundaries and plain text restrictions"
Just what does it mean and how does one set it up?
Or is this a 'silly old twit' sort of question?
I quite often use Windows and Netscape to view my mail, especially when
I am having a hard time with something on my Linux box.
I have never set up any of my Windows mailers for "80 column boundaries
and plain text restrictions".
Does this mean I offend some each time I write in?
Like now?
No offence intended - I hasten to assure you all.
cheers Tony B
