      TID: FMail-W64 2.3.1.0       TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: LATIN-1 2       MSGID: 2:341/234.1 6609c45a       REPLY: 2:221/1.0 65e30caa       02 Mar 2024 13:25, you wrote to me:               >> I've found that JamNNTPd wraps at 72 chars in all lines except the        >> last one, that can be up to 79 chars.               TK> Yes, and it seems that it always wraps the text it shows to the        TK> client. Defined by WRAP_WIDTH in nntpserv.c.              JamNNTPd always sends wrapped text. If flowed=on, it will append a space to       the end of each wrapped line.       It's up to the client (if it supports format=flowed) to re-join those lines       and show it as a paragraph.              I experimented with setting WRAP_WIDTH and LINE_WIDTH to a high value, like       997. This way JamNNTPd works similarly to other NNTP servers that support       paragraphs as very long lines.              But there's a problem with quoting, as you commented. Some readers (TB,       Sylpheed...) will quote a long line as just one quoted long line, without       wrapping. And this doesn't work well with all FTN software. Some (GoldED,       Xpoint, WinPoint, Aftershock...) can display and re-quote those long quotes       just fine, but many other programs can't.              Carlos              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: cyberiada (2:341/234.1)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/260 135/220       SEEN-BY: 135/225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 291/111 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 5054/30       PATH: 341/234 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
