80 columns is a sane default. Why are you trying to keep a discussion alive which has been dead for hours? For source-code, I even go for 75 columns and try not to exceed this limit by more than 3 columns. It's more of a biological thing, given we humans can only scan a line up to a certain length comfortably. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <[email protected]>
