That is how my Outlook client formatted your mail.  I agree that this
is annoying!  I think some of my emails turn out this way too and I'd
like to fix the problem.  I have Outlook set to use Plain Text (rather
than Rich Text) and I think I have the width set at 100 or more.  I
always try to use return after each sentence and I try to keep sentences
less than 73 characters in length.

If anyone knows how I can set up Outlook to send mail as I have typed
it I will be very grateful!

thanks,

p.s. I didn't have this problem when I was using unix mail (zmail).
