Looks like another trip to the treasure chest. <g>

Does the "Shift-P" key move the reader back up the thread or back to the
last read message/article?

This could be dangerous as I have experienced that having too many
messages saved into a folder can cause Yarn to die with a "Memory"
(sorry as i cannot remember the actual text) message.

This would be a boon as I have read many articles in local newsgroups
where QP Latin-1 chars are used in the headers (against the RFCs from
what I have heard) sent from Netscrape and Eudora.
Does the new version translate the QP in headers too?
Could I _beg_ for the inclusion of a switch which sets the right margin
for quoted text and Yarn wraps at that point?
Example: Quote-wrap = 73
with the result

The follow-up text to the above, blah blah blah. <g>
What do you think, Chin? Any opinions from other Yarn users?
