I just posted a brief note via my ISP newsserver.
It appears there as written ( including my own typo) and all chopped up
in Google. Why, dear Google brains?

Dear mr. Ludovic Mirabel,
All your posts appear
on my

screen like this most of the time. You may assume that
it makes them pretty hard to read most of the
time.
It sure looks like you write your posts in
wordpad or
word or something like that, and you copy and paste it
later into your browser/newsreader.
It was suggested that Shaw carries a newsfeed, why don't
you write to
them and ask why you can't subscribe to it. A decent newsclient
like Forte (free) Agent or Gravity is needed first, you'll
have to
download it first, then download all carried groups, and then
select the ones you
want to subscribe to. Then write a test message and see if
it
comes through.

I wish you good
luck!

Dear mr. Sander.
Don't be so smug. You can not trust the Google to be as tidy as your
little Amsterdam newsies.
Anyway I tried my ISP (Shaw.ca) and it appears there as written by my
normal neat and tidy self ( ?!!- that was my wife) and still chopped up in
Google.
Google has a problem and blaming just me will not solve it.

Hi Ludovic,
I also had a minor formatting problem with Google.
I have always used the web to ng and found
that the Google text box was character string sensitive.
If I made the line too long it would go to the next line
sometimes making odd breaks in the text.
I just adapted to a shorter line length to keep the flow
coherent ( opinions vary ).
I had tried Outlook Express but the ISP seemed to miss
posts that were available in the Google version immediately.
My posts are blockish and I was ploncked by a line judge
once but for the most part the posts get through.
I hope you resolve the mystery of your newsreader.
