So how is it that my messages are the only ones with "hard" breaks at about this length?

Every email to the group I've looked at, except mine (and, oddly, the other Henderson...Richard),
has been narrowed to about the same width. That tells me it's being done at the source...as opposed
to the U of Penn server. Either EVERYBODY but me (and Richard) is sending mail through similarly
configured servers, or else you're all using MAIL.PRN. Neither seems quite likely. I'm using
Outlook...is that it?
