      MSGID: 1:153/7001 67539aa7       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Nick!               NB> Was the second one with fold or just "set trimblanks" disabled?              It was 'fold -s -w 69'. The first is nano with "set trimblanks" and "set fill       69".               NB> Which one do you think is doing it incorrectly?              Neither, they are true to what they're called up to do. Offhand I suspect       that fold is more DOSsie and it is usually one character shy of how others       define the length of a string. For example FTN standards list the subject       field at 72 characters when it is really 71. The 72nd character is \0, which       is ye' olde string delimiter and in the case of MSGs it is a field delimiter.        Offhand I'd go with fold's specifiers and have .nanorc "set fill 68" which is       one less than fold but produces the same end result as 'fold -s -w 69'.              Life is good,       Maurice              -o -o o- -o        (\ (\ /) (\        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
