Message corruption

I have just sent the previous message about wine storage and on reading it back after sending was horrified to see that the way I typed it in has been corrupted. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong? Michael

It looks like your editor was inserting carriage returns at the end of each line and that isn't necessary. It's not a big deal if it continues.

Newsgroups like "rec.crafts.winemaking" were originally designed for lines to be about 72 characters or less. It looks like your lines were longer than that and somewhere along the way, some program broke them around

72 characters. That left the remainder of your lines much shorter, and as lines of their own.

You can either: 1. Not type "Return" within paragraphs ... just keep typing a whole paragraph until the end and let the program automatically break it up when you post it, or, 2. Type "Return" more often ... and keep your lines shorter than 72 characters. (This is what I do, you have more control).

Anyway, it's no big deal... everyone is used to seeing all sorts of formatting in the newsgroups! :)
