Fragmented Posts

[Navyguy]

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP, SP2

I've noticed that when I post to this and other Google groups that my
text ends up fragmented instead of in a paragraph. I was wondering if
anyone knows the cause of this?

Thanks
Robert

If you switch from HTML to Plain Text to view *regular e-mail*, does this
show fragmented text as well? An incorrect screen resolution for your
monitor can cause what you see. Check the owner's manual.

Most newsreaders wrap text at 72 characters. If Google Groups cuts off
lines at a longer length, that would explain it. You shouldn't press
Return/Enter unless you're starting a new paragraph.

That may explain the problem because I don't like my sentences being
so long. They hare hard for me to read and type as ridiculous as that
may sound. So if this is the case is there no way of shortening the
sentences? I have the same problem with my email (Live Messenger)
doing the same thing. By the way I'm writing this and letting it wrap
around, so we'll see how it comes out. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm looks nice now, and this is how it should look. I guess
I will just have to live with typing the long sentences. I wonder if
Hotmail will do the same thing, I'll have to try it and see.

Thanks
guys,

And this has what to do with XP? NOTHING.

Ask elsewhere

Just resize the window you type into and you won't see long lines of
text, but left to its own devices, the email software will lop them off
at the proper length. Then there won't be any fragmenting till there
are enough replies to make the lines too long.

No, sorry I don't.. seriously. Of course, I have my reader set longer
than the standard cutoff length, and the composer just hacks it off at
72 characters, sending the next word to the following line.

Give me a friggin break dude, just where am I suppose to ask the
question?
This was NOT an O.T. post and If you don't like it you could at least
offer some
suggestions instead of being negative.

Actually it WAS an off topic post - it had NOTHING to do with WinXP
(notice that word in the title).

Oh, and I did offer a suggestion - ask elsewhere. You want to know
where? Fine. FIND IT. You'll be a better person when you learn to
solve problems on your own.
