MSAR Riders,

Please remember to use short lines. 60-70 characters per line
is ideal. As you type, use the return key to end each line, not
just each paragraph. Short lines are for the benefit of those
who read the archives of MSAR-Riders: many e-mail clients will
try to wrap long lines, but the web archive does not!

For example, try reading the following paragraph on the archive
(https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/msar-riders/):

The result of not using your return key often enough is a line of text like
this, which is so long that readers of the web archive must scroll
side-to-side to read each paragraph of your message. This can be very
annoying, to say the least!

Thanks,

Una
