    in the above, the two middle lines... are those notices from QNET? yes, they were split like that... colorful, too :P

    i had just written a reply which is where the first line comes from, then the two i'm asking about and the last one came up... i know the last one is from sbbsecho but the other two are interesting :)

    Yes. The average username and group/sub names combined to be > 80 cols.

    The QWK one is a new feature. I may work on the message format.

    yeah, i kinda noticed that...

    i had just written a reply which is where the first line comes from,

    i'd probably consider making it more like the one that sbbsecho emits... the current one seems a little wordy ;)

    eg:
    "someuser" sent you a message on "group" "area"
    or
    "someuser" sent you a post on "group" "area"
    or
    "someuser" posted to you on "group" "area"


    not sure if the originating system/path ("via VERT" or similar) is really needed...

    Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set
    them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
