Hey Alan!

 AI> not just your messages, any message that passes through

Right.  I have the evidence to back that up.

 AI> The problem hasn't been fixed yet but I suspect it soon will be.

From this angle it looks fixed and for those downstream of any outstanding 
issue I hope your suspicion bears fruit.

 AI> today they could be bigger or smaller in the case of a phone,
 AI> tablet, or a wide screen display.

It shouldn't be a problem if \r's are only used to terminate paragraphs rather 
then to hardcode end of line(s) that will only display properly on the 
'correct' terminal.

Life is good,
Maurice
