Hello Michiel,

Well, it was in fact Golded specific for most cases. Setting "DISPSOFTCR YES" in my config file seemed to fix the issue with your original message, and displayed the entire thing just fine.

There may very well be something similar in slrn that I'll have to address, although it is nowhere near as blatantly noticeable as it was in Golded and how Golded wrote out the editorfile to vim.

I guess my question would then be, why include printed soft CRs in messages? Isn't that about as worthless as BOMs?

Regards,
Nick
