   MORE info.  The problem occurs when doing a block reflow!   
      
   Hop over to FIDOTEST.  One message to observe the result is this one:   
      
    EMP: /FIDO/FIDOTEST   
    ABS: Michiel van der Vlist@2:280/5555   
    BET: High ASCII in Fidonet   
    MID: 2:280/5555 5dadb8a8   
      
   BTW, OXP does a great job generating the 4-letter quote prefix for     
   "Michiel van der Vlist"   
      
   When that message is quoted, there will be two lines that begin with     
   "MvdV>".   When the block is selected and reflowed, the staggering     
   happens.   
      
   Reflow does not have this problem with 2-initial quoted lines.
