I'm sure to some extent, this is the work of Wakboth, and isn't really
the fault of the posters. But for symptomatic relief I note that in
several cases, lines of less than 72 characters come through unmolested,
while longer ones cause barfing. One can only presume that some
people's mail is being run through a FORTRAN compiler by nilmergs.

Sp basically, I suggest the following remedy of simple electronic
behaviourism: note what seems to give your mailer indigestion, and
don't feed it any of that.

81 is definitely out.

Well-behavedly,
Alex.
