Does *this* look better? I admit that I usually do a hard return using 
my enter key whenever I get to just about where this very sentence says 
"using", rather than let the program (mozilla-mail do the wrapping for 
me. In this instance, I am *purposely*  NOT doing so.  How does my 
message look now? ... notice that I did not quote the entire original 
message.
