	And I think it all comes to the same basis as the infernal double-space
quotes...

	{Hypothesis based on black-box observation} GG is using HTML for
formatting internally, so what it displays as a nicely wrapped paragraph
goes out to Usenet/MailingList as a single long line -- the <p></p> becomes
a pair of line-ending characters as seen by NNTP clients (a pair to put a
blank line between /paragraphs/). In the other direction, properly
formatted (<80character) lines are being wrapped by <p></p> tags on input
to GG -- each of our display lines becoming a single paragraph on GG. Now
when quoted and sent back out, these 'paragraphs' get the double-space
treatment.
