Hello Avon,
I'm time poor to test this attempt to fix things but if others can try
to repro the issues of char cut and the LF CR thing that would be
good.
Yep, it's a conundrum that we are in today. It's not g00r00's doing, it's something that he and other BBS developers need to contend with.
Back in the BBS heydays I think most everyone was using an 80x25 terminal. Even
today I am using an 80x30 terminal for BBSing.
You'll notice my paragraphs are short these days. :)
The idea to use long lines for paragraphs is a good one. The text can be wrapped dynaically for the readers screen size instead of an 80x25 screen that may or may not be used.
Can you guys with different software post some >256 character paragraphs so we can see what happens?
I think this wrapping is quite popular among different BBS software.
But regardless of wrapping characters or not tossers should never change mail in transit.
Ttyl :-),
Al
