Ian and everyone else,
It did not work!
I just checked my own message and the auto-line wrapping apparently only applies to "plain text" mode. I have the HTML turn on to
get a nicer font and it inserted CRLFs at the window size I used to compose the message (it was wide). So much for my theory and
goal of universal compatibility. I do not know why it is inserting the CRLFs or how to disable it. I also forgot to mention that I
am using Netscape 4.7.

This time, I have set my composer window to just fit the 72 number long string below.

123456789112345678921234567893123456789412345678951234567896123456789712
0 0 0 0 0 0
0

I included my previous message under this new formatting size to see what happens.

We will see how this turns out.

=======================================


My old message with the new settings:
I really agree with Ian on the issue of too many CRLFs. People use the auto wrapping feature and then they add extra returns in a
line that is supposed to be continuos. The result is a mess. Ideally, there should not be any extra CRLFs added except where
really wanted for formatting and readability. It should be the reader program's responsibility to format the text to fit the user's
selected window size. That way it will work regardless of what country and what screen size/ format is used. To please some
people, I have auto linefeeds turned on at 72 characters but I think it is wrong for the above reasons. It really is the viewer's
responsibility to format the text the way he/she wants it. (No CRLF entered so far, I just let the auto line-wrap work)
