Recently you wrote in a message to All:              AS> I post the following two jokes by way of testing the        AS> Hotdoged Fidonet and Usenet client, which is the best        AS> one for Android and the hardest to get running on        AS> modern versions of that OS.              AS> I. After a COVID infection I lost taste and am reading        AS> Dan Brown and Ken Follet.              AS> II. Stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining,        AS> depression, vaccination certificate.                       :-))                            AS> But I fear even this client fails to wrap text to the        AS> standard line nength of 72 characters...                       I didn't see any line on my screen which ran over 72 characters       here, although my software can handle up to 80. I'm not at all concerned       about lines which are shorter than what you intended because I think that       makes them easier for less fluent speakers of English to interpret. If the       lines are longer than what you intended, or if other people's software omits       words such as "not" when a line is quoted & requoted, I consider that to be a       more serious issue.               IOW, what appeared at 1:153/716 in Vancouver is fine with me.... :-)       --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 18/0 19/10 30/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 116/116       SEEN-BY: 120/340 123/0 25 35 40 126 131 150 170 180 190 200 755 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/300 138/146 153/250 757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/424 426 700 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 282/1038 301/0       SEEN-BY: 301/1 101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 423/81 460/58       SEEN-BY: 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 920/1 3634/0 12 15 27 50 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 153/7715 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 301/1 229/426           |
