I've been keeping up. Glad you were able to get it all sorted!

You're still way luckier than most, if you have been able to use Golded for
all those years without having to use translation tables. I thought something
was weird when you told me that. :)

Boooo.

Not a new feature, really. Just fixing an old one.

Some generating software uses much more space than FMail does when it comes to
the tearline. What if one wants to put FMail's information in the TID kludge,
instead, so the tearline can be used for the editor information?
