There is already a well-established guideline: Wrap lines at ~70-72 characters. Here's a screenshot of what that looks like (one of the earlier messages I posted in this thread) on my mobile, properly rotated to be able to read it. http://www.pizzashack.org/images/mail.png If you think that has any sort of readability issue, I would encourage you to discuss that with a psychologist. From a scientific standpoint, I mean... =8^) Also don't forget to actually look at the image on your phone. The scale will obviously be out of whack if you view it on a desktop (but the readability will still not)! -- Derek D.
