Subject: Just a NIT


   Is anyone else having problems reading the postings from
   [email removed]  (and a few other posters)?

   I realise its probably a deficiency with my mail reader but it works fine
   for 99.999% of my other TML mail.  Is fok using an editor that doesn't put
   in a hard carriage return - line feed as it wraps lines?

   Long sentences/paragraphs seem to be a single line disappearing
   off to the right of my screen and unless I extract the message to my
   favourite editor and cut the line up I can't read the message.

   I would like to read these messages, after all your trying to say
   something that's worth reading, but I find myself unwilling to take the
   time and trouble to do the extraction and edit, so the posting is
   simply ignored.

   To those with an editor like fok's, if you want me and anyone else who
   is having this problem to read your postings could you please try and
   hit that ENTER/RETURN key a bit more often.

   If anyone else is reading their TML from within a VAX/VMS ALLIN1 editor
   and has found a way to read these long lines would you contact me with
   your words of wisdom.

   Is there any way of massaging soft returns at the TML distributor before
   they get posted?

   Thanks.
