Here is a test using "QUOTEMARGIN 72" and the "INVALIDATE" (for SEEN-BY, TEARLINE, and ORIGIN) config options in golded.conf on Linux, using the internal editor. For some time, it seems these options are not doing what they are supposed to be doing.

1) In the above quoted text of Tommi, the first line in the paragraph is 76 characters long (plus a possible space making it 77), and the second line in the paragraph is 77 characters long (plus a possible space making it 78 characters).

 - I guess my expectation would be that it would be 72 characters, unless we're allowing 5 more characters due to the quote prefix, and the possible space at the end doesn't count?

2) "---" so far is not changed to "-+-" as specified in the "INVALIDATE" option.
   " * " so far is not changed to " + " as specified in the "INVALIDATE" option.

SEEN-BY wasn't quoted here, but you get the point.

If it is indeed changed upon saving of this message, then #2 may just only work while using the internal editor, as it has never worked for me while using an external editor (something I assume would be done while quotes are being re-wrapped and reformatting is being done).

Are either of these actually working correctly for anyone on Linux, using the latest version?

Regards,
Nick
