My text files are in symple text without        NM> "return" or "enter" at the end of each line, is it correct?              Yeah, I've noticed that if you post a text file with mutil you'll need to       make sure that your file is no more than 80 characters wide otherwise mutil       will cut it off.               NM> -!- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/24 (Linux/64)              Since you're using linux, if it's just a plain text file you can use something       like:              cat mymessage.txt | fold -s -w 78 > newmessage.txt       or       cat mymessage.txt | fmt -w 78 > newmessage.txt              Which will make your text file no more than 78 characters wide.               NM> Maybe I have to create my file with at most 80 characters/columns        NM> like an ANSI template?

Many thanks :-)              I'm not too sure about ANSI files, I know I've saved files in TheDraw at 78       characters wide on occasion, but I don't tend to post ANSI that often.                     Jay              ...
