Only paragraphs longer than that will be        CN>> wrapped.               TK> This is exactly what I did once in the past. :) The combination of        TK> WRAP_WIDTH 997 and FLOWED OFF was a pretty good choice.               CN>> It works (in fact, other NNTP servers do that), but there are        CN>> issues with some newsreaders, e.g. Thunderbird. A quoted paragraph        CN>> is not wrapped, so it becomes a long line prefixed by just one        CN>> ">". This doesn't work well with all FTN/BBS software. (See my        CN>> "long line test" thread in FIDOTEST.)               TK> Yes. It needs a little manual works.              I've tested this again, and it seems that TB displays and quotes long lines       and long quotes properly with flowed=on. Maybe I did my previous tests with       flowed=off, not sure. I'll need to test more...              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           |
