Speaking of not wanting to make a change! In your defence, his mail headers don't seem to include the format=flowed crap that would allow longer lines. I also believe USENET should stick with text and no attachments by default, however I can't but help wonder if web fora have won out over USENET because USENET format nazis kept on stamping on people who uuencoded attachments to their posts. The world would be a better place if the masses accepted USENET and there wasn't a proliferation of badly written BBforums all doing a poor job of badly reimplementing small parts of USENET. -- Tim Connors
