Hello Nicholas,

Replying to this message as a test. Keep in mind the message I'm replying to
was done with TB and flowed=on. Everything here looks ok in slrn and nano
using flowed=off.

I'm guessing the spaces at the end of the above quoted lines have been
removed, now that I'm using flowed=off.

 NB> Is it only quoted text that looks bad in HotdogEd?

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

The line above is now 79 characters with the addition of the single quote
character and space. The last word (or words) will most likely be wrapped to
the next line without a quote character when the initials are added - when
viewed in flowed=off and/or in an 80 character wide terminal/client.

Either way, I don't think the issues are specific to HotdogEd, except the fact
that HotdogEd adds another wrench into the mix by only being ~58 characters
wide. So this is noticable much more often. :(

Regards,
Nick

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