Actually, that message looked better than many that go out. I had set my
news Send wrap to 60, since at 76 some lines were so much longer than
others.
My email Send options are set at 76 at the moment, so the differences in
line length are greater than this - but this is bad enough. In order for
the line lengths as shown in Bruce's message to stay longer than 60, I
just put my news Send back to 76.

As it appears in my Sent folder, (hoping it stays that way when it gets to
the group!)the word "get" at the beginning of the 5th line could have been
at the end of the fourth line.

My own outgoing messages have irregular line breaks, no
matter where I set my wrap. Lines are of varying lengths
for no apparent reason. If I edit the outgoing message to
get rid of ridiculously short lines, by hitting delete to
get rid of what would be hard or soft returns in word
processing, the same or a different stupid line break gets
in.

As it appeared in Bruce's reply, the line breaks are still goofy:

In the message as it got to the group, there is no reason the word "the"
on the third line could not have been at the end of the second line. Same
story for the word "delete" in the fourth line - why isn't it at the end
of the third line? Well, except I notice now that the first line is much
longer than 60! How does a message I send at 60 get changed by the
recipient's setting?

And, back to my original problem - is there any way to encourage OE to
wrap correctly?
