ive never used quotefix, but ive googled and i reckon:

you want the line length to be about 80 characters.

it needs to be set in both outlook and oe-quotefix

in outlook

Menu>Tools>Options...>Send>
News Sending Format
(/) Plain Text [Plain Text Settings...]
Automatically Wrap Characters at {x} characters when sending.
[OK]

apparently for quotefix:

Right click the icon in your task bar and select *Show Dialog*
Then you get a box whixch lets you set the line length and quote
character.

ive no idea if any of that will work!

mine was fine when i had a desktop puter with a big monitor.

im now using a laptop and am forced to use 1024x768.

>Good point, I'm on a 26inch monitor & dont see any issues with anyones posts!

this line just fits in my window without any scrolling across.

<80 characters is the traditional usenet linelength.

I hate outlook and outlook express as they seem to ignore things like
this. typical really - they both work but they do a lot of things the
way they want to rather than the way they should!

Nige, Tim had managed to get hold of some 7.5t lorry mirrors for
burrt, which I have continued to use. They are much bigger than the
standard 101 items, and once time and funds allow they will be swapped
for the heated ones to keep them dry when it rains. Can see loads in
'em compared to the originals.

open the control dialog, probably from your systray, set the 'wrap at column' to
72 or less.

'hide'

do not 'terminate' !!!!!

I've had someone who had right of way lock their brakes up and skid to
a halt as I pulled up at the junction, for some reason *they* gave
*me* a dirty look. I suppose you get that kind of thing too.

what are you reading it with?

this 'forum' is actually a usenet newsgroup. (defenition of usenet -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet ).

it is much like a lot of emails arranged into threads.

you need to locate a usenet/news server (your isp will probably have
one or you can pay a small amount for a better one). find some
newsreader software (outlook will do it, but something like agent
(http://www.forteinc.com/) is better and then you are off.

I've got a neato wide-screen monitor, 1440x900 pixels[1]. But the stuff is
wrapping nicely in Agent, here.

The forum works on a system known as "usenet", using a protocol called
"nntp", the web/digest access methods are just front-ends added on top
by some sites.

You need a "news" client or "nntp" client, and an ISP who provides an
"nntp" server. For client software try Forte Agent and for an nntp
server ask your ISP or try the following;

server = nntp.aioe.org
server = news.opera.com

Wraps nicely here too - at any resolution from 1024x768 (laptop) to
1920x1440.

As others have said ...
o First get access to a news server
o configure a news client[1] to use it

For a little background ... maybe the text & links here will help ...

Opera browser.

There is a news client built into Thunderbird and Mozilla too.
