Some of my list members post with ridiculously long line lengths
(one has hers set to about 130 -- aargh!), and others (particularly
those using the MS Outlook Express) post with HTML set on -- despite
being repeatedly asked not to :( The latter posts have the HTML
part stripped out by by the list server (Listserv 1.8D), but that
leaves the message body to be sent with each paraphgraph
MIME-encoded to come out as one long line -- relying on the
recipient's mailer to wrap it. That's antisocial, because lots of
mailer's *don't* wrap at all, or don't wrap infinitely-long lines
... but more importantly it means that Mhonarc builds the archives
with each parapgraph as a single huge long line :(
Actually, I was thinking of requesting a feature that made MHonArc reformat
paragraphs into a single long line in the HTML output, since HTML viewers
*do* handle word-wrapping. Seems to me that in this case, the
MHonArc-outputted messages will be more readable than the original emails
they came from. *shrug* A matter of taste, I guess.
