It is strange I email all over the world.I am in outher groups and I have never had a complaint from them or the many personal commumications I have email all over the world. The iopener is made for
email and web. I am sending this to Netpliance to see what they say.                                                                                                                                  
                   Why the first person who started all this sent me a email and told me he found the problem was on his site ?                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                            I am sorry
that this causes so much problems to the infrared group. If you and the group would like I will cancel my subscription.  Please let me know James Romeo

But your lines *are* too long, whether you can change settings or  
not. And you *are* using a computer....there's more than just PC's &  
workstations....;-)) 
And if that causes problems with other mailers (mine has optional  
line-wrap when reading, but not when replying (Pegasus/WinPmail)),  
then the program you use is buggy. Plain and simple.  
Whether it's a significant problem is another case, but I have seen  
mails in the past with such long lines that it a) crashed my  
news-editor, and b) caused missing letters after I wrapped it. 
 
We don't accept the buggy HTML-coding from Microsoft & Co in email  
either (I just updated the Majordomo-settings btw, neither HTML nor  
subject-headers with 'Infrared-Digest V #xxx' will pass to the list  
from now on). 
 
I won't force you to use a different mailclient, but fact remains  
that it simply does not comply with Netiquette....it might be great,  
but definately not perfect, and the mistake is *not* with other  
people. 
Sorry to be so harsh, not every gimmick is a blessing to the  
Net....;-))
