[Ham-Mac] Correct Way to Post to Yahoo Groups Using Apple Mail

[Ron Rosson]

I have found if you type your message and let the application do the word wrapping itself the messages come out formatted properly. The only time you would hit the carriage return is if you wanted to start a new paragraph..

Hope this helps (this message was typed using Mail under Lion)
