   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:   
      
   AK>  I thought for a long time what had you meant by "double    
   AK>  space at the end of a sentence" because my qouter removes    
   AK>  double spaces. ;-)   
      
           
             I had suspected as much.  In Fidonet we don't always know what other   
   people's software will do until we see it happen.  But your idea of posting an   
   excerpt seems to work quite well if you want to keep the original spacing.   
      
             If you &/or your quoter prefer not to use the double space, I accept   
   that when the results are consistent... as they are in this example.  But from   
   my POV it's annoying when my software will accept a double space in the middle   
   of a line but try to correct it if I use it near the end of a line.  No matter   
   how I adjust the settings, it has its own ideas about line wrapping... (sigh).
