When I copy and paste printed text to news group post, the line breaks
from the original publication are retained

Any hard carriage returns will be kept when you copy paste.

Additionally, OE will do wrapping on sending based on your settings in
Tools, Options, Send, News, Plain Text Settings.


Don't overlook the screwups that can happen due to Format=Flowed eg

E.g. if you leave Format=Flowed in effect and you are using a much longer
line size that the text you are quoting you either have to ensure that any
trailing blanks have been removed or re-edit the composition in the Outbox.

BTW that's one of the reasons I have been leaving extra blank lines after
quoted text. That way at least one blank line will be left after F=F gets
done with it. ; )
