Thanks for the info. It's good to know this is correct. There is one
nut case in the Forth group who replies to my posts with a bit of boiler
plate added saying my lines were not wrapped correctly and he rewrapped
them for me, lol.
But that doesn't explain the issue I have where quoted text in the
window for composing messages often is not wrapped and runs off the edge
of the window. Any idea what causes that? It makes it very hard to see
what I am replying to. This message seems to be just fine, I suppose
because the lines *are* wrapped. Looking at my post from April 16 at
5:24 PM I see my lines are *not* wrapped. I see in the source the =
char at the end of each line which I assume means a continuation.
Strange... This seems to not be wrapped in the composition window when
replying.
