well, I count 76 charachters in the first line, and 75 charachters in the
second line. This leads me to believe that Aztec is acting up. Unless
you use UN*X mail, Elm, or uacn mail, you cannot control how long one
line is....I seriously think this is your systems mail handlers fault.
If you use a mail program where you have to press return after the end of
the line on a group machine, then remember that most terminals are 80
wide, so 72 is ten charachters from the end...the only people who will
have problems reading that mail are on terminals of larger systems, in
which case there are ways to view the rest of the line, as much as an
irritation as it may be.
