I just got a new workstation, and it has Windows7(64) installed. So I'm
setting everything up, and I installed the latest version of Thunderbird
for a newsreader, and it looks totally different than what I'm used to.
OK, I can get used to the new layout. I sent a message to r.f.p, and
it didn't break the lines at 72 characters. I went into the "options"
and that setting is gone. I uninstalled that version and went to
oldapps.com and found the oldest versions that will run on 64-bit
windows. 6.01 and 3.1.something. Neither one has the line break
setting. As I'm typing this it's acting like it will break the lines, I
guess we'll see...

(Also they screwed up the message search box.)

What did you do to make the line breaks? Spread the word, because
it's annoying to have to do a "return" just to read a post that
consists of one unbroken line.
