Why do my message texts appear all on one very long line. Is there a problem with the newsgroup?

Thanks,

Because you do not have your mail agent set to auto-wrap properly?

Your "mail agent" is whatever program you use to read mail.

You're correct. I misinterpreted your original post. I should have said
"new agent" instead of "mail agent". Your "news agent" is the program
you're using to read news. In my case, it's Outlook Express. In your case,
I can see that it's Microsoft's web interface to these newsgroups. I have
no idea how to control that and would never use it as a reader except in
extreme exigency. I'd recommend using a better newsreader. There are many
available. At the very least, press the Enter key every now and then to
force a line break.
