ppu...@damnthatspam.chello.nl (Peter Punk) a ecrit dans son message: @--In that case, don't give up but just ask (here or anywhere..) In that case, then, don't complain later on that I have TOO MANY questions!! ;-) @--Best setting is 74, that way you make sure i won't wrap in any newsreader, @--including the ones using a text-only (80 columns) screen. The reason why I set it at 85 is, as demonstrated in the quote right above, a 70-ish setting would split a long line of words into two (see how the word 'newsreader' being pushed to a new line), resulting in 'irregular' quoting (I mean, some lines with the prefix for quotation, like my "@--", whereas some without). But setting it with a larger number attenuates the problem. Could anyone explain why, please? Another question, if I don't choose the 'word wrap' option at all, would the ASCII art still be displayed properly? (as you can clearly see, I really have no idea what 'word wrap' is about whatsoever!) What if I 'manually' do the word wrap (that is, hitting the carriage return key from time to time)? Would that be worse and why? Thanks in advance to anyone who respond!!! :-) Veruschka.
