So, investor99, you see some of Phaedrus's posts cut off too!  And I 
thought that I was the only one!   Yes I too did not see all of 
Phaedrus's post. Furthermore I have noted other posts of his have 
been truncated when I see them.  I have been researching this problem 
on and off behind the scenes for a while, when time permits.  I was 
trying to find out what was happening as I thought it must have been 
my problem.  My latest theory is that the problem is indeed at 
Phaedrus's end.

What e-mail software are you using Phaedrus?   There are rules that 
recommend how e-mail software is designed, called RFCs,  so that we 
can all read each other's mail.   RFC 2045 says that lines MUST not 
be longer than 76 characters when encoded as 'quoted-printable'.  
This isn't necessarily a fixed line used by all e-mail software 
designers.   But I'm willing to bet that some of your 'lines', or 
length of text between carriage returns are considerably longer than 
that!   

Fortunately there are a couple of simple things that can be done, 
without changing the software.   For you, Phaedrus, it is to put a 
few more return characters in your text.   

For everyone else, try viewing the message in the 'showing all 
headers' mode.  In that mode, 'quoted-printable' decoding is 
disabled, and longer lines are permitted by the standards in non-QP 
situations.   HTH, and we are now able to understand each other a 
little better. SNOOPY
