... your posting has it as one long sentence with
no line breaks.
Really? No one has ever reported that problem, and I've been posting
on dozens of newsgroups for years. What newsreader do you use?
I happen to be using Xnews, but you'll notice that Eric(in another
thread) and Lauri have both commented on this also, and they are
using MicroPlanet Gravity.
As Lauri pointed out, your postings are using
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable".
Here's an edited portion of a 1998 usenet posting regarding
"Word wrap in Outlook Express":
"Quoted Printable formats text as paragraphs, not as lines of text
like other encoding options do.... doesn't know how to display QP,
so its soft returns are displayed as =, and hard returns (which
force a new paragraph when QP works) are displayed as =20. When you
view your own outgoing QP messages, you see the text formatted properly
because OE can display QP. If you use any other encoding option
(Uuencode, MIME/None, MIME/Base64), the text is broken into discrete
lines of text of less than 80 characters."
Here's what your posting looks like in "raw" format,
including some of the headers:

I don't use Outlook Express, but here's some instructions
I found in a usenet posting:
=============== =============== =============== =============
In Outlook Express 6 you would do the following to get rid of
"quoted printable". If you are using another version of OE then
the method may vary somewhat from this.
=============== ======
In Outlook Express
- Tools (menu)
- Options (menu item)
- Send Tab
- Set mail sending format to "plain text" (radio button)
- Click "Plain text settings" button
- Set message format to "Mime" using radio button **
- Set "Encode text using" box to "none" *
* This is where the "quoted printable" gets set.
** You could click UUENCODE here but Mime is OK
(I believe) in this context.
You can also set the line break length here (set to somewhat less
than 80) & the delimiter used to mark sender's text.
