    NM> Hello, when i post from a text file Mystic cut lines; i am not an   
    NM> expert so i ask you.... My text files are in symple text without   
    NM> "return" or "enter" at the end of each line, is it correct?   
      
   Yeah, I've noticed that if you post a text file with mutil you'll need to   
   make sure that your file is no more than 80 characters wide otherwise mutil    
   will cut it off.

   Since you're using linux, if it's just a plain text file you can use something   
   like:   
      
   cat mymessage.txt | fold -s -w 78 > newmessage.txt   
   or   
   cat mymessage.txt | fmt -w 78 > newmessage.txt   
      
   Which will make your text file no more than 78 characters wide.

   I'm not too sure about ANSI files, I know I've saved files in TheDraw at 78    
   characters wide on occasion, but I don't tend to post ANSI that often.
