Hi, Anatoliy Kovalenko! How are you?
on Thursday, 05 of April, I read your message to alexander koryagin
about "Re: Program Quoter - you are very welcomed"

<skipped>
 ak>> 60-80 symbols width is the most comfortable width for the text. We
 ak>> used it in books and etc. In short I've made a conclusion that it
 ak>> is not my text was 2/3 of your window -- it is your window was 1/3
 ak>> wider than necessary. ;=)

 AK> No, I use an old notebook with 1280x800 pixel resolution and always
 AK> read texts in full screen (as seen on the screenshot). What's the
 AK> use for me to reduce the window to 1/2 screen or less? I believe
 AK> you don't resize MS WORD window to a column size of 1/2-1/3 of
 AK> screen when you type text, do you? I think the more text you see at
 AK> once, the better. Modern computers have even hgher resolution
 AK> screens, so formatting the text to 60 characters may become really
 AK> annoying because it will look as a tiny column, and all the rest
 AK> screen space will be left unused.


-----my text not formatted----
IMHO You contradict yourself. When you write your message it is very often that
 quoted paragraphs constitute almost all the message. You just add your text
below, like a comment. But, note, all the quoted paragraphs ARE ALWAYS
FORMATTED by 70-80 symbols!

It means that there is no sense to complain that some paragraphs are too narrow
 for your screen. No, it's your font too small! ;) When you choose the side of
the font you, probably, have to set such a size so QUOTED paragraphs would be
seen at full screen length. Then it will be a perfect reading.

It is logical. What's the use of making not-quoted text in the form of a single
 line if all the quoted paragraphs are formatted?
