You referring to the DOS version? I have something like 2400 messages in
my POSTED folder at this point (which gets a bit awkward 'cuz it takes a
few minutes to extract itself when I leave), but I've not seen a problem
with that number. Obviously a newsgroup could have several times that,
though... :-(

How would you handled embedded quote characters? I'd love to see this,
particularly if it was intelligent enough to wrap only the first-level
text and not text previously quoted. Example:

The DOS comm program I use from time to time (Telemate) supports this
type of intelligent wrapping in its paste-with-quote-prefix function.
