typewriters, back in the Cretaceous period. :-)
Actually, my only sin was trying to use the "Rich-Text Editor (Beta)" feature at the top of
the Yahoo Message composition page. It acted very strange indeed. Combined all of my
text into a single paragraph, ignoring my intentional line breaks at the end of each
paragraph. Then when I gave up and used cut-and-paste to put the text back into the
normal message composition window, it somehow created those artificial/forced line
breaks. Sorry 'bout that!
