How do you achieve Nroff-like formatting in your post(s) ?
it's a patented technique developed by scribes many centuries ago
Or if you happen to use Emacs, you can invoke `M-x set-justification`, then type "full", then use M-q to apply full justification on the region. No ancient scribes required (well, aside from the Emacs authors). Be warned that it looks kind of goofy on a screen in a monospace font instead of in a book in a nice variable-width typeface. john
Well... it depends on what you mean by "goofy" -- does it not? i looked for online Nroff simulators or emulators and was able to find none! Btw, GG used to hide my email adrs but here my email adrs is shown explicitly as is, and i'm afraid i may be seeing a shocking increase in the volume of spam email. omg, i certainly hope not!!! (i've not noticed it thus far.)

The addresses had been available anyway to anyone with non-Google-Groups Usenet
access, so I’d be very surprised if there were any difference.
