Throwing open a poll on the list. Replies to the list.
When posting a message on a mailing list, should the original poster
make sure his lines wrap at a particular column, or not? If yes, which column? If yes, or no, why?
Wrap at 70 cols (+/- 5 as the decision may turn out).
However, - something should be done to handle URLs that often exceed the line-length. - many people are not experienced with mailing lists and newsgroups so there should be some flexibility to handle such defaulters.
I have no ideas as to what *should* be done about these. Any suggestions?
