Unless one is typing on a manual typewriter or has reached the end of a 
paragraph and is hitting return to add a blank line before the next 
paragraph then one shouldn't put a linefeed in their message in my 
opinion. Also, anyone posting a URL in a message should go to 
www.tinyurl.com and convert it before inputting it. There's no excuse to 
have a long URL in a message anymore.
