I've formatted it, and yes, it was 306 characters all in one line.

If your editor doesn't pay attention to your line lengths, you're
using a bad editor. Probably it removes end-of-lines while sending
(not when showing it on your computer). Doesn't it have a setting
"preserve line ends" or something?

Tip: Try to use a text-based mail program. Frames are unnecessary for
everything except some complicated web pages. Or remember to hit
Enter every now and again :-)

Mine is at 70; the line ending in "for" is exactly 70 characters.
