This is the same issue you were talking about
last week, isn't it? I wonder if maybe Turnpike
is just disallowing returns in email as being non-
compliant, stripping them out, then formatting
the lines to 76 characters or less.

It's a bizarre behavior that ignores the rules of
English composition, assuming that all written text
in an email should be a single stream.
How ironic that a Brit would be the one using
such software.

I try to structure scripts I post to not be
corruptbile by email software, by making the lines
short. In your case that doesn't seem to be possible.

In case anyone can't get a usable script out
of my post, I also have a copy in my "handy
desktop scripts" download:

By sorting folder paths in terms of folder size it's
easy to quickly see where the bulk is. Sometimes
it's surprising. One friend had several GBs of email
in Thunderbird, due to friends sending big pictures
that she didn't delete. In another case, a blind friend
was using special software to download audio books.
I had specifically set it up to save the files on a data
drive, but the software was poorly designed. It still
saved a 2nd copy in the program's app data folder,
anyway -- quickly filling C drive, so that the folder
had to be purged periodically.
