I have just come onto this website and on reading the discussion about line
lengths, I wonder if it is absolutely essential to reset at 70-72. I use
Outlook Express V.6 and it is preset at 76. I hesitate to mess about too
much because if I get myself into a fix I very often can't explain if I
need help to get out of it.
Regards - Freda
