I notice my "agent" properly distinguishes dsil's post from your
posts. Unfortunately, it shows dsil's sentences do NOT wrap unless I
hit a keystroke that changes 'em.

Each newsreader has different settings/features. Many of the BigNet
entities like gobble (GG), Mozilla (Tbird), cell phonse (G2) offer
their own version of what they would like to see. A "de facto" std,
if you will. Problem is, Usenet (as it's officially known) had its
own stds long before any of these other bogus pretenders showed up and
jes screwed everything up (bad quotes, bad wrap features, etc).

Wanna see what the original requirments for Usenet readers? Gonna hafta look
'em up. Approved newsreaders, though, which adhere to the original stds, to one
degree or another, are still available.
