I can't remember: what are the rules for amending the charter to a
newsgroup? I want to make a very simple change [which I will post to the newsgroup for comments before I do], but I don't know if there is more to
it than that.
The simple change is that the charter specifies that lines
must be <72 characters long, in accordance with the email format RFC specifying maximum line length. Based on that rule, virtually every post I reject is because it has very-long lines. It seems that the very old Microsoft convention [newlines are actually "new paragraph" and lines can
be as long as needed] has prevailed for a LOT of clients and the posters probably don't even know what "line length" is [or how to do it in any convenient way other than by putting in newlines by hand]. Thanks!
