    Word wrapping in digital messages causes lines to break at different places depending on the computer monitor's default typeface and typeface size, and the window size of the computer monitor upon which a message is being read...DUH.

    I am trying to puzzle out how it is we are seeing a graphic image rather than a text copy of Schwarzenegger's letter. Maybe I'm particularly oblivious today but something seems not quite right. I had thought such documents were usually distributed to news outlets unformatted.

    The remark about the insult being a coincidence, however, reminds me of the myth that a million monkeys locked in a room with a million typewriters (or keyboards) will eventually produce great literature.

    You've asked and answered your own question. The text was saved as an image so that it would have the correct formatting to display the hidden message.
