Er, no right margin in your editor? (-: Or you mean quoted parts from
messages recieved from people with no right margin in their editor -- that
would be nice. YEP can wrap long quoted lines when you hit your editor...
but it's kludgy and ugly and the author is too lazy to put in a better
routine for it (and it's only for OS/2) -- so also wishes Chin would do it.
(-: (Also since so many people request it for just viewing messages inside
yarn already -- ie. rather than just hard wrapping, breaking words at the
right side of the screen)... but while we are talking wishes... i think a
higher priority wish for most people's wish list is a new news.dat packing
routine which doesn't reset the import day (so expire -o isn't affected).
We pray nightly.
