   Hey August!

   Back then the default terminal was 80 characters wide.  That was true for GUI   
   terminals as well.  Thus when that document was written I believe everyone and   
   their dog was assuming a line was 79 characters with the null character in the   
   80th position.  I seem to recall teletype machines being 72 characters, which   
   could explain why some strings - subject() being a good example - are limited   
   to 72 (71 plus null) characters.  As far as I am personally concerned, I vote   
   for unlimited (unbounded) line lengths which is covered in http:   
   /ftsc.org/docs/fts-0001.016.

   QWK messages aren't FTN MSGs.  As we speak, my vim can do modified MSG format   
   (packed MSG without the binary header garbage) but not QWK, or Bluewave.  It   
   does email along with mutt's assistance.   
      
   Life is good,
