Nice!

If I may ask, which linux distribution/version are you using? And which termimal?

Yes, that is the maximum, because that is the room for it that is reserved for it in the config file. I don't know why this is. I searched the ftsc docs, but it doesn't mention a length limit for tear lines.

They are not supported.

I have to look into this. But it isn't for file areas, because fmail doesn't do anything with file areas.

Me neither. ;-)

But there is always the description on the bottom line when you are on an option. Or if you are desperate the doc file! ;-)
