Hi Vitaliy,

Pretty much? Or not at all? ;-)


On to the next issues... ;-)

I notice in my putty terminal that alignment of the columns in the area listing is off when there are unread messages in the areas:

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/1b0a6ac1a41e

This might not be new, and already happening before I started changing/fixing my code page issues. I'll check later if this also happens in my local konsole terminal.

Also the header with the number of messages on the message reader screen is sometimes missing a space between the first number and 'of', when I go directly to a message from the area messages listing.

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/80901e9650d8

Could this be related to the above issue?


Bye, Wilfred.
