        Thanks for your comments!

        You can insert carriage returns all day and all night if you
        wish =without= ill effect =if= you do not use Netscape's
        "Navigator" for e-mail.  It is only with that software that
        free-wheel carriage-returning causes problems.

        I limit my line-lengths exclusively by means of carriage-
        returns (I use Mustang's "Off-Line Express").

        Howsoeverbethatasitmay (and it indeed may) - there seems
        to be more at work than mere libertine line-lengths  -- as
        you and several others are gradually making clear.
