Re: Why are the messages so wide?

Hi ,

For what it is worth . . . it is not happening to me. I am real close

to being computer illiterate so I won't even attempt to offer an

explanation. Maybe one of the computer wizards here will chime in.

Take care,

Colleen--Good analogy! Very funny! But I really just want to know why!

I read my group emails on the website rather than having them sent to

me since I already get over 150 emails/day for work. . . so it's just

cleaner and easier to log in to the group website and pick them up

here for me. What seems to be happening for me and some others in the

group is that messages from certain people take up far more than the

screen width - we have to scroll waaaaay over to the right to get to

the end of each line, as if their " word wrap " isn't working or

something.

I don't know if anyone is having problems with messages delivered to

email. . . I do know that it's not " just a Yahoo thing " since I'm on

several other high-traffic groups and I haven't had a similar problem

with messages from any of them in the last several months.

Furthermore, this only started here within the last couple of weeks.

I only noticed the messages widespread when i was in the group website and reading them there, in my personal email when i read the letters they are not widespread......... sorry Cathy I tend to blame everything on Yahoo, because its hard to figure it out and when ever i have problems and call sbc about yahoo, i never seem to get anywhere...........so i was probabally just whining .................

since Friday. . .

They must not have their " wrap text " option on.

Ramona--I think Cathy best described what was happening in her message #41240. But, like her, I haven't seen it happening since Friday. I don't know what it was but apparently it has corrected itself. Who knows! Thanks to all that responded!
