To the best of my knowledge, your posts are the only ones that don't work
right.<
Your mail program probably adds something that *you* can see, but pure
ASCII readers like
mine can't. That is, your program probably adds some characters or
formatting that show them to you as 'quoted',
but my reader does not see them.

No, your's wrap fine at 80 characters. No problem there. Many others just
continue off screen.

From your header:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158
iso-8859-1 (Latin 1) is not an ASCII character set, it is an 8 bit code
which differs from ASCII above 0x7F, that is the upper 128 characters are
different from extended ASCII. Pure ASCII is originally 7-bit.
But the header also says it transfers 7-bit. Which is fine, but maybe
that's why something you see on your
screen gets discarded when it's mailed. I'm not a mailer expert really.
Maybe someone else is.
There's also an option in Outlook somewhere to mail using 'Text only' mode.
Is that on?
