Discussion group message format

[Bill]

I am using FP2003, but this started with 2002. Carriage
returns were being ignored in message posts, so every
message displayed as just one long paragraph--wrapping
within the IE window.

I found MS Knowledgebase article 328495 and used the s-
article-format="HTML/PRE" parameter, which fixed the
problem of carriage returns being ignored. Now, though,
I've lost word wrap, and each paragraph (between CRs) runs
off the screen.

Is there another Discussion webbot parameter that will fix
the word wrap problem? In fact, can anyone suggest a
listing of all the webbot parameters and what they do?

Thanks.
Bill

Switch to HTML view and add a wrap= attribute to your
<textarea> tag.

wrap="soft" is the default. Text is displayed with
wordwrapping and submitted without carriage
returns and line feeds.
wrap="hard" Text is displayed with wordwrapping and
submitted with soft returns and line feeds.
wrap="off" Wordwrapping is disabled. The lines appear
exactly as the user types them.

That did it. Many thanks. In spite of extensive
research, I could not find that key info anywhere.

Now, I'll be looking for your book. Amazon.com?

Have a good one.
