Or is there something in FTSC conventions addressing this?       Because I recently asked about this "issue" in ru.golded and a few       people told me it wouldn't be a good idea to hard-wrap lines to a fixed       value, and there's no such option in GoldED's config either. I know       that Vim can do it (as I type this text) and this is what I thought       GoldED was capable of doing as well. However, it can only auto-wrap       text in view mode. If you can set up your news reader to do the same it       would solve the issue with extra-long lines.              > GH> BTW is it okay to use "hang around" without seeming a       > GH> bit too "informal", or should I have said "stay"? :-)       > Surely /to hang around/ is informal unless the speaker be a       > bat or a sloth (the three-toed variety).              Oh, you be too smart. :-) Snakes can also hang upside down, and some       monkeys, and possums too.              --- FastEcho/2 1.46.1 Revival        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/1.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700       SEEN-BY: 218/720 840 850 860 870 880 930 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/5003 282/1038 291/111 301/1 113 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 712/848 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 221/1 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
