Me too. +10 if I had that many votes.

If I am to read a log, and that log contains lines 200 characters long, 
most of our email readers /can/ handle that, so PLEASE turn off the 
word-wrap in your email agent long enough to post a log unmolested by 
senseless word-wrapping.  That is a huge help to those of us who might 
be interested in helping.  Word-wrap it so it makes no sense, and I'll 
just hit the + key (kmail) to go on to the next message.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
