I called up Outlook Express HELP and inquired about "wrapping text"

It gave back...

    To set the line length in outgoing newsgroup messages

    Outlook Express automatically sets the line length of messages using plain text format at 76         characters per line. This accommodates news servers that do not display more than 80                 characters per line. When messages are quoted in a reply, the original text is usually marked         and indented with an additional character. If your message is likely to be quoted after posting,     set your text to wrap at 70 or 72 characters per line to prevent text from running beyond the         edge of the window.

  1.. On the Tools menu, click Options. 
  2.. On the Send tab, in the News Sending Format section, select Plain Text, and then click the Plain Text Settings button. 
  3.. In the text box for Automatically wrap text at x characters when sending, type the number of characters you want displayed per line. 
I'm now set at 65 (It was default at 76.)  Is this a good number?

Hagar: ditto your thoughts on the Energy Bill.  Energy economics would work best if we could but leave it all alone.  But, this is politics as we know it.  Gotta "tinker" to buy votes and influence, and do favors for friends and family.   

Why is it that diesels are subject to an 8 cent a gallon "surcharge" in taxes while hybrid cars get "tax incentives?"  And this on a hybrid car which for most manufacturers is economically unviable over the life of the car.  (i.e. you'll pay more in first costs of the car than you will save in life of car fuel savings)

Could it have something to do with "The Powers That Be?"  Naw, that would put me among the "conspiracy theorists."

Best alternate energy regards,
Joe
