   Hello Maurice!   
      
   ** On Monday 07.03.22 - 16:38, you wrote to me:

   As it stands now, the @Fido2telebot interface tries to not     
   modify message content in transit.  The exception might be in     
   R)eplies from the Telegram side by only quoting as far back as     
   the 3rd level, and not anything higher.   
      
   It would be nice to have CRs removed from the EOLs within a     
   paragraph so that the messages arriving from the Fido side     
   would look less jaggy on my 2x2 screen.  But my eye has adapted     
   quite well to that, and now I don't mind as much.

    AA>> can be tilted horizontally to get a better representation   
    AA>> of some messages that arrive in the original 70-80char   
    AA>> per line form.   
      
    MK> With the default font, an android based tablet can handle   
    MK> 80 character width on both portrait and landscape modes   
    MK> (16:9).  I imagine the same can be said for smartphones   
    MK> and other handheld devices.   
      
   I have not found a font-type or fontsize control on my     
   Blackberry.  The lettering is already pretty small as it is. :(   
      
      
    AA>> And.. I also use the desktop version which I find is the   
    AA>> easiest way to produce a reply.   
      
    MK> Proper word wrapping would be required to convince me.  I   
    MK> have a tablet that can produce proper MSGs that is   
    MK> entirely capable of both displaying and creating MSGs that   
    MK> does this the correct way without ANY changes to standards   
    MK> ... or worse; goofy kludges that create more problems and   
    MK> solve absolutely nothing.   
      
   The current incarnation of @Fido2telebot is barely 3 years in     
   the making. It has made tremendous strides in features and     
   functionaly during that time. Many of those are probably due to     
   my whining and [strike-through]complaints![/strikethrough]     
   suggestions.  LOL.   
      
   The developer has recognized that maybe it is time to release     
   the code on github.
