I am       reluctant to move up to a newer one as all the newer ones have issues of some       kind, the one I am on seems to be issue free.              The one that was tested was dated the end of july if that helps, I can't give       you the specific date as I don't run it, it was tested by another sysop.              Anyway, I cannot reproduce it, I just notice the messages when they appear. I       have sent you screen shots to your gmail and discord so feel free to look at       those to know what I am talking about.              I hope that you are able to see them, and figure out why it's doing it. I can       see that it's message line length when the wrapping makes a wrapped line 79       chars long, that's when it causes the issue. 79 chars long, plus the white       space at 80, means the new line char is at 81 and that's when it causes the 6       blank lines, when the editor is used on a 132x37 system, it creates 2 full       pages of blank lines. You can see this if you visit the underground bbs.       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2020/12/04 (Linux/64)        * Origin: thE qUAntUm wOrmhOlE, rAmsgAtE, uK. bbs.erb.pw (2:250/5)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 25/0 21 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 550 700 981 1016 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/307 317 400 250/0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 21 261/38 263/0       SEEN-BY: 280/464 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 341/66 342/200 633/280 712/848 920/1 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 250/5 1 301/1 229/426           |
