i suspect what is actually happening is that you are using an editor which does soft line-wraps as well as manually inserting line-feeds. this *looks* OK in your editor with its settings and with the width of its window but looks wrong to the receiver (and looks wrong to you because the window size and/or word-wrap settings in your mail viewer don't exactly match those of your mail editor)
in other words, the program isn't mangling your messages, you are.
Yes ; this seems like the problem the email editor is either mis-configured or being mis-used so my fragmented offerings whilst not what I intend, are my fault. Eventually I may understand the problem fully and if a solution , necessarrily involves moving to another email client, adding processing to the output of the editor etc , I may consider that. But in the interim about all I can offer is reduced or zero emails ; or just simply unsubscribe. regards Rohan McLeod
