Actually, that is what your mail quoted here appeared as on my screen
(and I use Netscape as well).

I suggest that putting in actual hard returns would anyway cure this
problem (i.e., physically hitting "Enter" when you reach the end
of a line in your composition window rather than typing on and letting
the program wrap automatically to the size of that composition window),
or at least insofar people are not using smaller screen widths than
your composition window (I think you can assume you can safely use some
70+ characters on a line).

(Since I tend to write mostly Usenet posts, I am used to trying to
do this anyway. I hope I didn't forget a line or two up above. ;-))
