RE: Hurdles

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

I post in plain text because the listserv doesn't accept RTF or HTML and RTF
and HTML produce unpredictable results for some email clients.  I've seen
paragraphs get jammed together and I don't like reading that and I don't
like seeing that happen to my messages.  I've also started to see that I
prefer to read paragraphs that are 3-5 sentences long, so I try to compose
paragraphs that follow that convention.  With plain text messages, I can
control my paragraphing, although line breaks sometimes get a little jacked
in email.
