Alexander Koryagin about formatting messages in Fido:   
      
   AK> The main rules are the following:   
   AK>   
   AK>   1.  You format only the paragraphs with quotation   
   AK>       marks. (it it better to put an additional space   
   AK>       before the quoting marks).   
   AK>   
   AK>   2.  "Your" text should be (if possible) in the flowed   
   AK>       format (one long line, in other words, no carriage   
   AK>       returns).   
   AK>   
   AK>   3.  "Your" text, if possible, should have no space   
   AK>       margin on the left.  The quotation programs don't   
   AK>       like it. There are exceptions of course -- you can   
   AK>       print verses or songs in the middle of the page.   
   AK>   
   AK>   4.  Turn off a text syllabification feature - there is   
   AK>       no fido quoters that support it.   
   AK>   
   AK>   5.  Some fido programs don't like the text that   
   AK>       justified on the right.  The people will have a   
   AK>       broken text in this case.   
      
   Thanks.  Can I read about the flowed format and the   
   formatting of paragraphs with quotation marks in any   
   "official" guides?
