Is this line break problem in my configuration or the posters?
If mine how do I correct. _See the carats_.


Yours. The problem is that your linesize is less than the poster's.
And if you look at the original post's headers you won't find this header

X-RFC2646: Format=Flowed; Original

(which I just extracted from *your* post. w)

If that header was in the other post you might have different results
even though your linesize is smaller than the original post's linesize.

Unfortunately, it may not be as simple as that either.
E.g. I suspect that, in addition to that header, in order to reflow
the quoted material there has to be a trailing blank on each line.
However, you may be able to force such a reflow by ensuring
that each quoted line you wish to reflow had a trailing blank
and adding one if necessary. (E.g. press End on each line
and press Space if there isn't already a space after the last
character in the line.)

In fact, that is why I have a problem with Format=Flowed.
You see, I still use linesize=132 (the max) and do my own formatting.
Here is an excerpt of something I previously wrote about that:

excerpt
the Format=Flowed feature with *my* line length would have
reformatted my quotes from *your* short lines into my *long* lines
*after* I sent my reply. In order to deal with this I have to consistently
examine the Properties of each reply in my Outbox, checking if the above
header is present. When I find it I have to reopen the message and
replace the unwanted formatting with what I originally wrote.
This happens often enough that I have developed a regular procedure
when posting online: Ctrl-a,Ctrl-c,Alt-F,W,Alt-S. Provided I don't
accidentally change the contents of my Clipboard before finding
that I need to fix the reply I can do that easily by opening it,
selecting it all, and pasting the old contents over the selected.
E.g. Ctrl-a,Ctrl-v. Fortunately, the Format=Flowed; Response
header then changes into a Format=Flowed; Original header
and my formatting is thus left alone.
/excerpt

BTW Roland has a zap to registry available if you would
like to try avoiding Format=Flowed altogether
but then you would be back to the old problem of always
having to have a larger linesize than your original poster's.

An easily resolved problem with a linesize of 132! As opposed to checking
each message's properties ere replying, I should think. g

OE-Quotefix is the easiest solution available, especially for users who
might not want to go editing the registry. But those who want to can disable
F=F here for all users:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express: "Disable RFC2646
Wrapping"=dword:00000001
Or in HKCU for the current user.

Thanks for elaborating on the context, Robert, I was avoiding this
cumbersome task in English which I already dread to exercise in German. ;-)
