   Not sure which is why I ask. I do know that changing it to 'from - to'   
   seems to display on two newsreaders here vs 'from -> to'.   
      
   Before I was seeing it get cut off like so:   
      
   i.e.   
      
   Bj”rn Felten ->   
   or   
   Matt Bedynek ->   
      
   Now it displays fine.
