Not a problem.  It would be nice if you had proper line endings at 72
or so.  I don't know how to get Outlook to do that because IMHO it's
not really safe to use.

My personal recommendation is to install Emacs and use Gnus.  Doing that
has many benefits.  But Gnus has a steep learning curve.

I've made a lot of posts in the past with Mozilla/Netscape, and it can
be set up (with a bit of fiddling and testing) to give proper line
endings with 72 char per line.  The biggest problem is re-formatting
when quoting, which Gnus can handle easily.
