Paul,

Your current server (AIOE) also enforces a line length.

To be honest, I didn't expect that. Does sound like a smart thing
to do though.

USENET protocols enforce a line length limit of ~1000

At some point that came to my mind too. If I drop the 76 char limit
I will, assuming I just keep writing paragraphs that end with a CRLF,
run into that one, which effectivily means nothing changes.

And if that doesn't create a problem, anyone who quotes such a wide
paragraph (mine or someone elses) will bring me back to square one
...

I had hoped I could just alow quotes parts to shift a bit to the
right (because of new quote prefixes) and not having to reformat them
(manual or otherwise).

Drats. I didn't really think this thru, didn't I ? :-( :-)

If you would like to try, Thunderbird has a feature of "rewrap" quotes,
which mostly does its work. My transition from OE to TB is quite smooth.
It was long time ago, though.
