How do I stop message text from running off the edge of the screen?
In order to make sure that the text of your message doesn’t show up all on one line, you need to insert your own line breaks. Just push enter at the end of each line. How long should each line be? Most e-mail programs will display a message correctly if each line contains no more than 55 to 65 characters. Instead of counting the number of characters in each line of your message, do this: • Type a line of equal signs 65-70 characters long at the top of your message. • As you are writing, hit the “Enter” key before each line gets longer than that row of equal signs. • When you are done composing the message, delete the row of equal signs.
