Hello Oli,

I really don't understand why we need to run a network wide test
(upgrade all hubs to the broken version) to confirm a bug that is
already known. It's a bit frustrating to be honest. And now I'm
writing some super offensive stuff that gets trunctated and

Your message got truncated here so..

I don't know what g00r00's plans are as far as updates go so I suspect the hubs
will need to figure out how to proceed as far as the version they run.

All the test messages I received from 1/101 looked fine, but were
wrapped (<80 chars). No idea if the editor saved them pre-wrapped or
if it was done by Mystic on export.

This is the same as always. I believe saved messages are wrapped at <80 characters. No change there, not yet anyway.

Ttyl :-),

I guess the idea is to get everyone on the same page in understanding
the problem, though testing the 256 char limit for a line is kind of
pointless from mystic given that it seems to wrap or truncate depending
on the editor or mutil. Still, at least they now know that mystic is
still broken in that regard.

I'm guessing from the recent upgrades things are still moving forward,
though given recent events I'm not really holding my breath for a fix.

I guess the best fix for now is to press enter before you reach 80 chars
of text. While it may be frustrating, given that this is primarily a
mystic run network (which we knew when we joined) I guess we have to
make do.

I'm starting to like it. Hidden messages only for the >256 byte underground.
