- At the risk of adding unnecessarily to the list traffic, I would
- like to make one modification and two additions to Stephen Dunn's
- excellent list of suggestions for improving the readability of
- messages sent to the list.
-
- 1) For the sake of those of us using Pegasus, please keep the
- length of message lines <= 78. not 80, as Stephen suggested.
- The pretty Pegasus message frames use up two columns.
-
- 2) Please paragraph your message! There is nothing quite so daunting
- as a screen full of text without any white (errr, make that
- blue) space.
-
- 3) If you have a spell-checker, please use it.
