   Hello Maurice!   
      
    MK> [...] Also I am guessing that @Fido2telebot has a   
    MK> hardcoded wrap at 72 characters (1960's teletype   
    MK> machines).  Judging by what I see at this end your msg's   
    MK> are fine but definetly look dated.   
      
   "dated"?   
      
   I am forcing a shorter than usual line-length with OpenXP.   
      
   123456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+123    
   456789+   
      
   There should be a CR after char 63 above.   
      
   I do this because then my own messages look nicer (not     
   haphazardly wrapped) when I look at them with Telegram on my     
   Blackberry!  ;)   
      
   I also find it easier to read line-lengths that closer resemble     
   the width of a printed page or newspaper column than the     
   totally free-flowed paragraphs that sometimes arrive here.

   Even using the Telegram and Fido link-up just to get     
   notifications when a message has appeared in an echo is amusing     
   and handy. It permits taking a quick survey of the new arrival     
   to see if it needs a reply or not.
