ROTFL.  Oops.  I turned off "embed carriage returns" in my Webmail account to see 
what would happen (I didn't like the way it was wrapping lines, but obviously no-
wrapping-at-all is much worse).  I guess the only advantages to this account vs. 
Yahoo! are SSL, 9 MB more storage, and the fact that it actually sets the "From:" 
address to the same thing as the user-specified "Reply-to:" preference (allowing 
me to post to my mailing lists without having to fire up my home computer's 
Eudora).

Yeah, I knew you weren't contemplating changing Alpha's default behavior, but 
thanks for the reassurance anyway.
