Just experimenting. Not sure which I prefer. I'm typing this one with line breaks and the
max setting so I hope it will format as I intendddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
ddddddddddddddddddd.

Thanks Harald. You're right, I do use Outlook Express - I should have mentioned it. I've changed the setting to the max and we'll
see how this message comes out (typed without any line breaks).

Hi Rob

In Outlook Express (which I belive you use), menu Tools Options Send News Plain
text format (whew), there's a setting "Automatically wrap text at XX characters when
sending". There's no "Off mode" to that one as far as I can find. Hope I'm wrong. Some of
us set XX to be quite high or max so that posted VBA code won't get unwanted line breaks
and will copy-paste errorless into modules. But it makes all other writing ugly as a side
effect.

Sorry, nothing to do with XL but it seemed as good a place as any to ask.
Why do posts get reformatted such that text typed without line breaks seems
to have arbitrary line breaks inserted? Am I doing something wrong and is
there a way of preventing it?
