Hallo Maurice!

Wow! It made it here intact. I doubt it would have survived the other path given the obvious inferior software it would have been forced to endure, espcially considering the mutilbyte characters and the extra special word wrapping deployed at your end. Kudoes to that btw. You are the master of word wrapping for sure.

Het leven is goed,

Humph.... when I went to quote it, it messed the wordwrap even worse...

What I saw in the original message was two columns, which I'm guessing
was your extra special word wrapping... However, when it got to the
multibyte characters (which obviously don't show properly for me), those
lines went straight across and under the second column (which, I guess fortunately, had finished before those last two lines).... Interesting experiment, though.... ;)

Hey Nancy!

It wasn't designed to be quoted back.

across and under the second column

Exactly. It makes it rather obvious I thought, whereas when done the more normal method, such as this reply, the flawed word wrapping wouldn't have been as obvious. I was looking to make it dramatic and that was the best way I could come up with at the moment. I believe it achieved that result. No?

Life is good,
Maurice

Two column text doesn't really do all that well in this environment, anyway..... ;)
