Hi, Anton Shepelev! -> All!
I read your message from 21.08.2021 23:56

 AS> I post the following two jokes by way of testing the Hotdoged
 AS> Fidonet and Usenet client, which is the best one for Android and
 AS> the hardest to get running on modern versions of that OS.

 AS> I. After a COVID infection I lost taste and am reading Dan Brown
 AS> and Ken Follet.

The main thing is not lose your taste for reading literature. ;-) As for
covid -- try to look at it through appendix gut.... I mean in the modern
world nobody fears an appendix removal operation, although its mortality
is equal to the covid mortality. Do you feel better now? ;)

 AS> II. Stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression,
 AS> vaccination certificate.

It is probably not the end.

 AS> But I fear even this client fails to wrap text to the standard line
 AS> nength of 72 characters...

Your text looks fine.

PS: Taking into account that there are now many screen sizes on
different gadgets it is probably a good idea not to wrap a simple text
at all.

Another matter is the text with quotations.

Bye, Anton!
