   Those are very true and very big deficiencies for a newsreader which is   
   all I use Tb for.   
      
   However, Claws won't compose/send in format=flowed and won't   
   reformat/rewrap, both of which I consider my preferences for usenet.   
   Claws will only 'respect' format=flowed (not create) which isn't enough   
   for me.  Claws also has a problem about how it does quotes.  A single   
   quote character should be followed by a space, but 'nested' or stacked   
   quotes should not have 'extra' spaces like that.   
      
   So, I'm stuck w/ Tb deficiencies because I won't accept such as Claws   
   deficiencies; it is a matter of 'choice'.  Tb is also 'bloated' because   
   of its policy of considering itself an html composer/renderer email   
   agent which marries it to that moz engine.   
      
   Back to your topic; does Marek participate in any 'online' activities   
   (blogs, forums) related to his interest in languages?
