|How you do that (or IF you CAN do that) depends on your news reader.
|There are lots of different news readers out there, which is why I
|suggested having a go at a little trial-and-error in alt.test.
|
|In your headers I can see this:
|
|  X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211
|
|which suggests to me that you're using OE5. There have been lots of
|people here complaining about problems with that one and the best advice
|for how to solve some of those problems seem to be "Get some other
|(better) news reader". I have no idea how/if to solve your problem in
|OE5.

'---------------------------------------

You can't Outlook Express wraps at a specified character position, or at
it's window width ... whichever comes first. 

(Actually, that's OE4... I'm assuming they're similar but I was wrong about
the single-spaces thing)

Martin,
-Kind Regards
