Max line width for newsgroup messages. Still have it at 76. Do I need to ?
Hello all,
My newsgroup client, OE, still has an auto-wrap line width set to 76 chars, and I wondering if it is still called for. Are there still people who still use a 80-char wide console screen using a client which cannot or doesn't wrap lines itself ? In short, is there still a reason to follow this decades old default (or is it just a case of following it for its own sake) ? Remark: While my OE still sends messages auto-wrapped*, it seems to have no problem with displaying messages that use much longer lines. *forcing me to reformat stuf that I quote - just because a single "" is prepended. Regards, Rudy Wieser |
