Hmm. But on my end it looks exactly like one big long line. And resizing the
window *does* make it re-wrap. Now the message you just sent (quoted here)
does *not* rewrap, and looks like short lines to me.

Now, that's really odd. I'm pulling directly from my server using POP.
So I dunno. I have no filters set, AFAIK. Not in Thunderbird. So it
would have to be sbcglobal that's doing it. And I haven't set anything
there, either. In fact, I don't much know how to use their stuff, since
I don't want to read my e-mail on "their" computer over the web.
I'd rather read it here.

This message made from 100% recycled bits.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
