I haven't posted directly to the newsgroups in years, instead using the mail=>

news interface via hotmail or occasionally my work email.  That said, the point 

about the 72 characters is interesting; I have always tried to keep my line 

lengths to about 75, so it wouldn't have been too hard to trim them down just 

a little bit more for safety's sake, had I known about the problem.  Oh well.
