And failing to re-wrap quoted text that contains alternate long
and short lines, making it almost unreadable, isn't as bad as any
of these things.

But it's still bad.

Google is not tin on BSD Unix; believe me when I say that
those posts where my neatly spaced and truncated para-
graphs turn into the car wrecks you're referring to *despite*
my editing them before posting is their fault, not mine.

The *fault* Keith is referring to lies in M. Schilling's news reading
(and posting) software. It is a known issue with his software and
quoted (in a Usenet sense) text.

As for your problem, perhaps a different default editor is called for?
Much as I hate to throw bombs into the mix, Windows' cut and paste
function and Forte Agent *rarely* do this kind of thing to me.

FYI, the word "that" from the top sentence should be only
slightly left of the word "bad" in your quote. If it isn't...
