   Replying to this message as a test. Keep in mind the message I'm replying to   
   was done with TB and flowed=on. Everything here looks ok in slrn and nano   
   using flowed=off.

   I'm guessing the spaces at the end of the above quoted lines have been   
   removed, now that I'm using flowed=off.   
      
    NB> Is it only quoted text that looks bad in HotdogEd?

   HotdogEd?   
      
   The line above is now 79 characters with the addition of the single quote   
   character and space. The last word (or words) will most likely be wrapped to   
   the next line without a quote character when the initials are added - when   
   viewed in flowed=off and/or in an 80 character wide terminal/client.   
      
   Either way, I don't think the issues are specific to HotdogEd, except the fact   
   that HotdogEd adds another wrench into the mix by only being ~58 characters   
   wide. So this is noticable much more often. :(   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick   
      
   ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
