Hello Nicholas,

Expanding on this, while using TB, I have two screenshots:

https://pharcyde.org/tb-over80.png

This one is basically my normal viewing size. Keep in mind before I replied to
it I reflowed the quoted text manually so it didn't look bad.

https://pharcyde.org/tb-under80.png

Here I resized the window to under 80 characters. Notice the newly written
text is still flowed to fit the screen, however the quoted text looks much
like your HotdogEd screenshots. Quoted text beginning with any kind of quote
character (including initials) can not be reflowed without actually removing
the quote characters first. I don't think jam/smapinntpd does this.

Is it only quoted text that looks bad in HotdogEd?

Does newly written text display flowed to the size of the screen in HotdogEd?

Regards,
Nick

... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
