Correct, for many of whom I write to was always
complaining of the broken lines when I had it set
to the default of 76 (I think) when they received
it as I guess their readers would not accept the
longer default lines, so I set mine to 50 lines so
they wouldn't break on them and also it makes it
possible for the breaking to not take place for
several mailings!

On some machines yes, on others no, but it is
simple enough to copy and paste!

Correct!

You are more than likely correct, I was just think
it was seventy something above!
