This is a normal paragraph, a long line with a CR+LF        CN> (NNTP) or CR (FTN) at the end:               CN> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod        CN> tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim        CN> veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea        CN> commodo consequat.               CN> The same paragraph but with format=flowed (wrapped at 40 instead of the        CN> usual 72):               CN> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur[SP]        CN> adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor[SP]        CN> incididunt ut labore et dolore magna[SP]        CN> aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis[SP]        CN> nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris[SP]        CN> nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.               CN> [SP] is a regular space (ASCII 32)              Both of these look fine on Thunderbird (with flowed=on), as well as tin (with       flowed on and off), and slrn (with flowed on), and I'm still unsure       format=flowed is supported in either of the last two mentioned.              Maybe tin and slrn can deal with incoming format=flowed, but just don't post       that way..?              So is it a HotdogEd problem that you're looking to come up with a work around       for, specifically?              Regards,       Nick              ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.       --- Mozilla Thunderbird        * Origin: _thePharcyde distribution system (Wisconsin) (1:154/10)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/616 123/10 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 128/260 135/220 225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 220/90 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5555 282/1038 291/111 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 2320/105 3634/12 5020/400 5054/30       PATH: 154/10 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
