Re: Horizontal scrolling

[Ayten Aydin <***>]

Yes, your guess is right that  I visit the page, as an  e-mail message, with
a OE set-up, what microsoft assumed when they set the Outlook Express
defaults. I thus do not need scrolling. More than that I do not know what to
suggest to ease your reading. I hope, someone more expert than I may help
you.
My best,
Aydin

(apart from the wasted band-width, with about 65% of the transmission taken
up with garbage that gets stripped out before I normally see it). The
problem comes if I read it with a web browser, which is the way I normally
access news groups as it's useful to have the information threaded.

comes out OK, but there are  tremendous number of different systems in use
and the only way to get web pages to display properly on all of them is to
transmit them correctly. For the record, I have checked Judith's message
with three different browsers (Safari, iCab, Internet Explorer) and none of
them displays it in a reasonable size of window without requiring horizontal
scrolling.
