Plain Character Line Wrap can be set to any value, I set it to 7fff (32767
chars). Of course under \5.0\Mail\ you can do the same for e-mail wrapping.

Under 2K it gives me an error. It only seems to support XP anymore anyway.

programs, even wrote one when I was desperate with all the html bull I
received and nothing comes even close to OE. I still use Lurker32 for fast
offline queries (http://www.wugnet.com/csreviews/software/lurker32/) but the
UI is just terrible. If only they added an html blocking feature it would be
close to perfect, second most requested feature after *nix ports. Follow-ups
set to general.discussion.

yEnc-encoded (or just multiple) messages. And OE annoyingly caches the
ENTIRE saved message to disk IN ADDITION to saving it. Uh...talk about
wasteful--something Microslop is indeed.

the 132-character/line limit (by contrast, Netscape Messenger can go up to
99,999 characters), and the constant updating required to thwart the
multitudes of backdoors, bugs, and other Microsloppy programming
inadequacies, Outlook and OE just aren't even worth using for email. I only
use OE for some heavy-volume binary newsgroups (not yEnc-encoded ones,
however) because it doesn't lock up (as much) when downloading tens of
thousands of headers like Netscape Messenger does, which hangs every 700
headers as it tries to stupidly update the list).
plus it
it's really
Mulberry, etc,
chose from.
