Yeah, I know what you mean about the fatness, a feature of all
Viognier-based wines I've tried. Vernay's Condrieus in the past have
had enough zippy acidity keep it fresh on the palate, an amazing
balancing act. Perhaps I was just reading too much into your note.

Well, that's a bit of good news, though it's still a pretty sucky
experience. On a separate note, Google Groups now is completely borked
for posting to Usenet: your response to mine isn't properly threaded in
my newsreader because it lacks the required References header and
instead uses an In-Reply-To header that is completely non-standard and
ignored. *sigh* And "Patok": enabling format-flowed didn't fix the line
break problem. Back to the drawing board...

There is one difference I can see - Dale's messages have a Reply-To:
header, which shouldn't be there. It appears as if it is an e-mail,
not a newsgroup post. Weird. I'm posting this reply using GG myself;
I'm curious to see what will happen. Could Dale be using the "New
Google Groups"?
In any, event, Mark, there's another thing you can do when you see
long lines in your reply window when using TB - you can do Edit ->
Rewrap before you enter any text. That should take care of them. It is
a palliative measure, but oh well...
