Sorry about that, I didn't know (and haven't gotten any such
complaints before). My "mail client" is a Web interface created by my
e-mail service. I therefore don't have much control over how it sends
out wrapped text, I think, but let me try this and maybe you'll be so
kind as to tell me if it works better for you (I ran my text through a
filter I wrote* after composing it, and then re-pasted it into the
interface field). This is hardly a situation unique to me (i.e., S_*t
Happens ... in my case, because of my problems setting up Debian I've
been stuck on W98 for a long time... and many things are 'just getting
by' style instead of 'optimal' .. like finding a good IMAP email
client to use in a nice graphical environment). Also I've found it
necessary to cope with badly wrapped text to be quoted often before,
and so I'll post my filter at this msg bottom for anyone to use that
finds it helpful.

`man' is hosed on my Debian system. When logged in as root and I try
`man' or `info' I get "execv: permission denied" error. It seems
there's is so much that can go wrong with Linux...
