Word Processor problems I've observed with different systems (its not just line length)

1. The presence of  =# characters in place of  ' or "
    If you have write.exe or any program that allows you to mass-replace characters this 
    little problem is easily correctable.

2. Entire stories being replaced with little boxes.
    There is no way in Kainspace that this little problem can be resolved on the 
    recieving end. Since we have no idea what the sender typed and all the little boxes 
    are the same, there's no way of editting them.

3. Long lines noting text size, font type, etc. (often found in HTML and RICHTEXT  
    messages. Fairly easy to spot and delete, but makes extra work for the reader and
    makes the fic look sloppy.)

4. Fic comes out as 3 lines approximately 255 characters long
    The reader may be able to correct this somewhat by hitting wordwrap, but will often 
lose parts of the fic in doing so.
