[topicmaps-comment] Email line-wrapping etiquette

[Murray Altheim <murray.altheim@sun.com>]

Sorry to be bringing up something so trivial.

I wonder if people could perhaps either hit a return at 80 characters
or so, or set their email software to do what people have done manually
for over two decades, ie., responsibly handle their line wrapping.
 
A substantial number of messages coming over this list are four or five
lines that are four to five *feet* wide, which makes it quite difficult 
to read, and responding to these messages means people must put line 
wraps into your text. 

It's sad that I must send this message out in the year 2001. Many of
us had much higher hopes for user software...
