Hello Tommi,

Not sure how smart it is when quoted text shouldn't go past 80 characters. But yes, Golded is much smarter than most things when it comes to FTN messaging, since that's what it was made specifically for.

Agreed, however.. quoted text should remain less than 80 columns (whether it's the first time quoted, or the 7th time), and we have clearly seen that it doesn't do so in multiple applications, including our beloved Golded.

I'm just wondering if making a hack/workaround for HotdogEd, which is now abandonware - and won't actually fix the problem - is the best idea here.

Regards,
Nick
