I am trying to find the correct way to post to a Yahoo Group using Apple's Mail such that the word wrap comes out semi-normal. I am using Apple's Mail v5.0 under 0S X 10.7 using the default Rich text message format.  

The problem has been when I used the return key to set the wrap. Yahoo ignored the return and inserted an automatic CR's after x-number of characters. This produced some really screwed up looking messages on the Yahoo web pages and digests formats.

I have changed the way I format the text and avoid using a single return and let Yahoo set the wrap.  Yahoo seems to understand a double return for a new paragraph. I think it worked on this posting

If someone has a better suggestion, please speak up.
