\
Q: How do non-NeXT machines deal with e-mail with long lines from our Mail application?\
\
A: When a message is sent from our Mail application the text is filtered. A space newline pair is added to the end of each line (not paragraph) if there is none already. Note that in this context the end of the line means the physical end of the line and depends on the window and font size. When Mail displays the message on the receiving end, it removes these space newlines pairs.\
\
This feature was added to help users who use mailers that do not deal well with long paragraphs. So if you make your send window narrow enough, your lines will be short enough so that the newlines are inserted at the right place and receivers of mail with non-NeXT mailers will never know that you only broke your lines at paragraphs.\
\
A bad side effect of this is that if you send your mail out with a space and a newline at the end of a line, the pair will be removed when displayed by the NeXT Mail application. Also, if you are mailing to sites that care about this feature, you need to make sure that your send window is the right size.\
\
As an example, with a default font of Ohlfs 10, the proper size for a send window is what is just large enough to hold all the buttons. This will break lines at 80 characters.\
