Worse, it does this after you save the       message you just wrote.              Or at least that's been my experience.              Concievably there's now a config setting to enable automatic subdirectory       creation. Or it would be nice if there was.               MJ> (I am using GoldED/386 3.00.Beta3).              If my history is correct that's circa 1997.              Beware of any Y2K bugs with the old versions. :)              --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 317 400       SEEN-BY: 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/0 267 280 281 410 412 416       SEEN-BY: 633/509 640/1384 712/848       PATH: 633/267 280 229/426           |
