I would imagine they do.

Also, I realized why quotes get wrapped to the next line. It's usually something that has already been quoted with initials. TB has no idea what to do with those, so it doesn't rewrap the text (unless you hit CTRL-R).

I tried upping mailnews.wraplength to 79, and also down to 66 as suggested in some RFC that was posted by you in the past, I believe. Neither one helps. Where the default settings are now is probably the best. Fidonet style "smart quoting" sometimes just needs a bit of backspacing of the text that gets wrapped to the next line back up to the previous line it should be on.

If we were to fix that, we would probably have to get into the quoting and rewrapping part of the code in order to detect initials/smartquotes, remove them while remembering what quote level it was, rewrap the text to be quoted, and re-add the initials with the quote level (probably how Golded does it).

Either way, the current situation is definitely a lot better than it was. ;)

Nick
