Interesting... I just double-checked my Yahoo! outbound message settings, and 
confirmed message width is fixed at 72 chars.  Never had a complaint before.
If you've any ideas PLMK.  Regardless, I apologize for the on-screen abuse.

Yes. I have registered a domain name at godaddy.com, and linked it to the dynamic IP address that my ISP has assigned to me.  On my internal network, behind a 
router, I have a FBSD machine, on which I'm running apache.  In order to make all
this work with a non-well-known web server port, I had to use godaddy.com's "Domain 
forwarding" feature to point to the IP:port combination.

Yes; my "ServerName" variable is set in exactly this fashion.

>Also, are you running apache on port 80, or is that being blocked by your ISP?
My ISP blocks and monitors well-known server ports such as 80 and 21.  I'm 
running well out of the well-known range at 10101.
