Hi,

There is a problem I have with the NeXT mail program which drives me  
crazy.  For some reason, Send windows (when in Non-NEXT format) have a  
default of 70 columns per line.  This is true on my machine, at least.

Alot of text I send in mail comes from files that were created in  
80-column format...that is there are returns/linefeeds in the text to make  
it conform to no more than 80 characters per line.  Whenever I paste that  
into a Send window, it reformats it to 70 columns and keeps the  
return/linefeeds exactly where they were; this looks ugly to say the  
least.  For heavens sake, isn't there a way to change this default to 80  
columns?  I couldn't find a way to do this in the preferences dialog for  
Mail.

Yes, I hear you complain, "why not create all your text in a NeXT editing  
program so you don't have to worry about returns and linefeeds?"  The fact  
is I am constantly grabbing and creating text from non NeXT machines!  

Yes, I hear you complain, "Why are you sending your mail in non-NeXT  
format?"  Because 99% of the people I send mail to don't have NEXT  
machines.  Unless I send it ascii, it gets formatted ugly.

Thanks in advance,
