Hi,

 fu> when you say "max screen width" what exactly do you mean? do you mean
 fu> something you've set somewhere in your theme, or do you mean the actual
 fu> width mystic thinks the terminal is?

I actually meant max column width, "max screen width" was a bad term to 
use and probably a little confusing. :) I'm just running 80 columns in my
clients and in the editor to suit.     

 fu> imagine: you log into a bbs with a 40 column theme, and your terminal is
 fu> 60 columns wide. mystic selects the 40 column one cause 80 won't fit,
 fu> but mystic also knows you have 60 columns and will wrap messages to that
 fu> width.

The msg reader doesn't seem to be "down wrapping" messages that are wider than
80 cols, hence the missing text. If I see an echomail that I can't read 
properly, I just hit EDIT to load the msg editor and it displays perfectly.
It's just strange that the reader isn't formatting the text as it should but
the editor can. 

 fu> it's likely the width you're setting for the editor is only for aesthetic
 fu> reasons

I haven't done anything funky with the editor. It's just set to the standard
79 columns in the msg_editor config. 

Do you have any problems similar to this running the Win version of Mystic?

Cheers!
