Yesterday was a difficult day for me. Yes, I ment '70 spaces', but
probabaly more accurate to say '70 characters'.

Netscape mailers are notorious for not parsing lines properly. You could
very easily send me a message I would be unable to read from one of those.
Personally, I have also experienced problems communicating with people
who use Eudora and a few other programs as well. In addition, as it turns
out, the VMS operating system seems to require CR/LF pairs at the end of
every line (at least from the assorted help files I have looked at, that
is what I found out) and some mail programs seem to use only one of the
two.
If I were going to choose a mailer to be totally compliant with this sort
of thing, I'd choose one already built into a server, like PINE or ELM. I
seem to have no problems at all with those mailers. Now, if only I could
configure my account to use one of them....neither is offered as a
software package on our systems here at Drew.
