Hello Black,

 BP> I had that issue here, and did a little 'bash-fu' to correct it. :)

Yep, that can be an issue. BBBS and MBSE handle that issue OK but I've had mixed results in other places.

 BP> for file in /home/dan/mystic/echomail/in/*.tic; do
 BP>   [ -e "$file" ] || continue
 BP>   ticlength=`cat "$file" | grep "^Desc " | wc -c`
 BP>   if [ $ticlength -gt 45 ]
 BP>     then
 BP>     cat $file | grep "Desc " | cut -c6- | fold -sw45 > ticdesc.txt
 BP> ticdesc=`cat ticdesc.txt`
 BP>     sed -i 's/^Desc/LDesc/g' $file
 BP>     fmt -w 45 -p LDesc $file > test.tic
 BP>     cp test.tic $file
 BP>     rm test.tic
 BP>     rm ticdesc.txt
 BP>   fi
 BP> done

 BP> I also did a little more 'bash-fu' to get the size field in the .tic
 BP> files that are missing.

 BP> for file in /home/dan/mystic/echomail/in/*.tic; do
 BP>   [ -e "$file" ] || continue
 BP>   filesize=0
 BP>   filesize=`cat $file | grep "^Size " | sed 's/.*Size //'`
 BP>   filename=`cat $file | grep "^File " | sed 's/^File //' | sed
 BP> 's/\r$//'` if [ "$filesize" = '' ] then
 BP>     filesize=`wc -c "$filename" | awk '{print $1}'`
 BP>     echo "Size $filesize" >> $file
 BP>   fi
 BP>   filesize=0
 BP> done

I'll have to scrape that. It looks like you are folding a single desc line into multiple LDesc lines?

Does Mystic import the description from LDesc better?

 Ttyl :-),
