   No. It's just that it doesn't support f=f's soft wraps. A "real" long line is   
   wrapped at screen width.

   So it has partial f=f support, as it seems it doesn't recognize soft wraps.

    CN>> No, it may be good for other newsreaders too. If I'm not

    NB> I think with what I just described above (where I've seen screen width

   Yes!   
   Thunderbird and Seamonkey do, but most others don't.
