   Hi, August Abolins! - >Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 26.12.2019 22:43   
      
    AA> For a read consistent with the season, try Dicken's A Christmas   
    AA> Carol. There are few archaic language samples in that one!   
      
   "The Great Gatsby" was presented me as a paper book. I like English paper   
   books very much because I can do my notes on pages. When I complete reading I   
   peruse all the notes and refresh in memory those words that were new or   
   unclear when I read the book. It is a more effective way to learn words.   
      
    AA> BTW.. I am liking your Reformator program very much! I think I got   
    AA> the right routine of copy-paste-quote-copy-paste that works for me.   
    AA> I like the way it skips quoting the citing section.   
      
   I also want to clarify some formatting options. If you do just "format" it   
   means that both quoted and not-quoted text will be wrapped - the lines will be   
   chopped by "line length".   
      
   If you make "unformat not-quoted text only" the quoted paragraphs will be   
   formatted, but the simple text paragraphs become in the form of one long line   
   -- the form that looks well on the screens of any size. That's why we rather   
   should not format "our simple text" while writing messages to the Fidonet. Now   
   many people write messages to the Fidonet using small gadgets with narrow   
   screens (like smart phones). We should think of them.   
      
   After completing your message it is a good idea to select all the text (except   
   the title) and make "unformat not-quoted text only".   
      
   Usually, when you read messages, standard Fidonet software unformat the   
   paragraphs with quotation by itself, so they look well at the screens of any   
   size. But simple text in the form of chopped lines will look badly on small   
   size gadgets.   
      
      
   PS: But nobody demands to write here in a super perfect way! ;-))   
      
   Bye, August!
