Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 I've noticed my messages end up a bit weird... (new PC, haven't streamlined it yet). Can you help...? Currently my sending format is 'plain text' - with word wrapping - but I have to pick a certain word wrap " length " - so it will always be somewhat wrong wont it, as everyone uses different size windows? Unless I change it from the current 76 to something smaller like 46, but then the message will be very very long... Alternatively I can choose sending in HTML format, perhaps that will solve the problem? (Trying this now...) Karina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 I don't know about lengths! maybe try 76 and see how it looks on the web. If you end up with a horizontal scroll bar, it's too long Play around with wrap lengths until your postings fill the web page window without a horizontal scroll bar?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 NOOOOOO! Don't send in HTML, the rules of this list are plain text as HTML drives some people, like me, up the wall. It makes my pc keep trying to dial up a connection, you get nasty flashing adverts and I delete posts because of it!! Outlook Express recommends 70 characters and have just changed mine to this.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Thanks for your tip - I've been wondering why my pc keeps trying to dial up the connection. I think I may have been one of the offenders too so may be changing my e mail address to overcome this! But now you don't get to see DH's slanderous (to all of us) email to me whilst trying to help me sort it out! Caro Ruthie... word wrapping > I've noticed my messages end up a bit weird...
