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.               NB> Here I resized the window to under 80 characters.

I don't think        NB> jam/smapinntpd does this.              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?               NB> Does newly written text display flowed to the size of the screen in       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.       --- slrn/pre1.0.4-9 (FreeBSD)        * 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           |
