[imp] Fwd: Compose Email formatting.

[rcooper at jamesconeyisland.com]

I sent this email to the imp group last night, but noticed that it never arrived
(along with a reply to Michael M slusarz, so dont know whats going on.  My
apologies if somehow I'm sending dupes to the list.

You'd think that after 25 years of using computers I would learn how to write an
email
whose message is actually formatted correctly.  There is not a single email
program
I have ever used that does not break the words at the wrong spot in the line.

So I have to conclude I'm an idiot because I seem to be the only person  that is
cursed
with this problem.  In IMP's particluar case, Im just using the default
wordwrapsetting of 80, and just typing as usual, though I do make a lot of
mistakes and
go back and correct them..
Using the spell checker causes a huge formatting problem in IMP.  I have to
*ALWAYS* readjust the lines to make them "appear" correctly on my display, yet
almost every time I send the damn message it always has at least one or two
lines or more that have just one word.  Could it be my font sizes or font type
causing some weirdo problem like this?  Perhaps Konqueror is causing this?
Evil spells from old girl friends practicing witchcraft?

It's an embarrassment to send email to anyone because of this and it doesn't
matter  what email program I use.  Secondly, no matter whose browser I use,
Any version of Linux, take your pick, or even any version of IE, the compose
window always, always, always has to be resized.  Looked at the FAQ, but it
didn't really address the head versions, so perhaps some kind soul out here can
take pity on an old man pulling out what few hairs I have left on my head and
educate me on what I need to do to solve or at least minimize these problems.
Your act of kindness will not go unacknowledged either :).

Yeah I'm a bit frustrated so forgive my current mood.  I know this is just test
software and all, but it seems like lately the gremlins have singled me out ...
(forgive the verbosity, I'm trying to show how severe my formatting problem is
and I'm gonna be torqued if it comes out formatted perfectly).


Thanks,
Ron
