-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

    If Geiger's software works as well as his ongoing comprehension of
    the problem 90 to 100 character long mail message lines cause, we
    are all in trouble.

    mail which might be forwarded, commented a few times, etc. really
    works best with 72-74 characters maximum per line.

Well considering that we are approaching the 21st Century I think it is a
little silly that one should have to worry about the line length in an
e-mail message. Even the dos based programs from the 80's could handle
wordwraping of displayed text.

<sigh> for the benifit of those misfortunate enough to be still working on
dumb terminals I have disabled my PGP script until I have time to add a
word wrap routine to it.
