Is there an option in >listserv to tell it not to wrap at 72 characters? > Joe LISTSERV is designed to pass the e-mail body unaltered so it's highly unlikely that it is the one hard-wrapping the text. Check your e-mail client settings. Many of them have an option to insert a line break at xx number of characters. For instance the client I use can be set to either hard-wrap text -or- flow long lines and allow the OS to decide where to soft-wrap them within the display window; in my case I choose to hard-wrap at 76 chars. Similarly, not all receiving mail clients can display long URLs across more than one line; this is something you've got no control over. I believe RFC2646 touches on this problem although the solution may be somewhat elusive. One option I've heard of is to enclose the URL within angle brackets: <http://this.is.an/example.html> Apparetnly this helps to prevent MS mail clients from logically breaking URLs across multiple lines but I can't be 100% certain. YMMV. -- Regards, Michael Shannon Senior Consultant, Asia Pacific Region [log in to unmask] L-Soft international, Inc. http://www.lsoft.com Chazzozz!!
