So if I       > understand you right you're (and others?) are happy with the way my test post       > came across to you - right? :)              It looks fine here. I wish I would have grabbed that pkt before I tossed it at       757.2, But I have the message I am replying to waiting for 757.2 to pick up.              Let me have a look..              Looking at the above in that pkt file there is a ^M at the end of each line.       That will cause word wrapping on the readers terminal at that point. I suppose       that is OK and since that is the way it originated we don't want to change any       of that.              Perhaps it would be a good thing if lines were not wrapped and just left as       one long line until the author of the message hits the enter key?              In that case the line would wrap depending on the terminal the reader is using.              And of course an important detail here is not to change message content that       passes through your node. It looked like some wrapping (added ^M characters)       was happening at a Mystic node. Perhaps we should test that with an upto date       version of Mystic and see how that goes.              This is just a bit technical for me though, I think mark, Maurice and probably       others can give you better information than I can.              This thread might get a good going over in the FTSC_PUBLIC area? There are a       large number of folks in there that could answer questions more clearly and       completely than I can.              > But.. we're also wondering about another system (running Mystic right? but       > perhaps earlier version?) that may be adding something to the way content is       > then displayed after packets pass though it.              > Do I have that summarized correctly? Al?              Yes, I think you are upto speed.              My summary:              Mystic appears to be wrapping text when the message is saved. That is best       done when the message is being viewed on the readers screen.              Mystic also appears to be wrapping text in messages when it tosses them on to       linked nodes. Message content should not be changed in transit.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 18/200 57/0 123/1970 153/757 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17       SEEN-BY: 229/107 354 426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 310/31 317/2 3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/0 1 10 100 330 340 772/0 1 210       SEEN-BY: 772/500       PATH: 153/757 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
