Well considering that we are approaching the 21st Century I think it is a little silly that one should have to worry about the line length in an e-mail message. Even the dos based programs from the 80's could handle wordwraping of displayed text. <sigh> for the benifit of those misfortunate enough to be still working on dumb terminals I have disabled my PGP script until I have time to add a word wrap routine to it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
