I find this whole thing very strange. I have a Mac, and it knows how to
wrap text windows. I can make the window the full length of my screen
(I have a 23 inch monitor, so that's pretty big), or I can scrunch it
way down. It rewraps as I change the window size.

Now, when I send a post, I have my news client set to wrap at 72.

Other people have mentioned it so it's not just me. Also other google
posters show up fine. The machine I'm on at the moment is Vista but
the same thing happens with my windows 7 machine.

With all the silliness that was going on here when google took a dump
and observing a few who figured out how easy it was to use a real
setup I don't have much patience for those who refuse to use the free
readers and servers that are available.

It seems a few want to blame the news reader but it's odd the only
time there's a problem it's with google posts. Folks can chest pound
all they want about thier superior readers but Agent is a fine
product.

Of course, you're right, Lou. When I read your reply two above, I
twiddled with resizing the window. Absolutely useless. So I went back
and twiddled with your first reply. Yes, it rewraps Nancy's post, but
there's still only one quote marker, whether I have two lines spread
wide, or five lines as narrow as I can get it. As soon as there's a
quote marker on every line, resizing and rewrapping makes it very hard
to read, indeed. Absolutely useless.

Live and learn.

Tell me how to fix it (I'm using Firefox instead of IE), and I'll
fix it.

If you don't want to spend any money, I think the only thing you can
do is sign up with eternal-september (free) and use a free news reader
(like 40-tude). If installing a newsreader on your employer's
computer is an issue, put it on a thumb (USB) drive and use it from
there.

I played around with it myself also to make sure I wasn't doing
something wrong before I spouted off. What's weird is some of them
are doing it right sporadically.

Um, who doesn't have twenty damn minutes to hard boil eggs? What a
retarded thread.

You think that those rubber balls they sell in supermarkets is good?
What a retarded man.

I don't believe that FF works as a news client. Besides, your headers
say you are using Thunderbird.

Are you using FF to read posts through GoogleGroups?

Hi Nancy, I'm not having any problems either but I think Xananews is
automatically wrapping for us both on my end.

Xananews is one of several free newsgroup readers.

Thunderbird is an optional expansion module to Firefox. It's an email
client that supports newsgroups not the browser itself. Being an email
client it is supposed to do autowrap when it displays messages.

I use XPN to display my messages. It wraps these messages but it uses
the longest line it can before wrapping them. I use a smaller font so
the unwrapped nature of the lines is obvious to me at a glance.

Firefox is a browser. What news reader are you using?
