[MD] extricating MOQ from SOM

[Case]

I wish I knew. I reformat every post I make and then when I see it mailed
back to me, I invariably missed a line break here or there. Every once in a
while the suggestion gets made that we switch too a posting system that is
not circa 1981. While there are lots of other systems to choose from,
frankly I like this one. There is freedom in the restrictions. In a former
life I have done a lot of layout of printed materials and would like mixing
in pictures and changing fonts and so forth. But this forum is all about
ideas. It is purely a form of written verbal communication and it works well
here. I fear change would have unintended consequences.

Ok, that was a long answer for I don't know and if someone does I could use
some tips myself.

OK, so how do I ensure that I get line breaks instead of this annoying
run-on stuff.

Trying to format text for this thing is even more frustrating than some of
the posts. You have to use plain text. Period. But some e-mail clients
insert annoying line breaks and some don't. Some writers care about this and
some don't. As a result there are all these chopped up lines. With > all
over. The website seems to use them for some sort for color coding. If you
write in Word with the paragraph marks turned on you can usually at least
see were the extra line breaks are remove them if you want. 

In short I have tried all sorts of things with mixed results and have found
that more often than not reformatting many of these ideas is more difficult
than refuting them.

But it someone has a really easy solution I would love to hear it.
