Yep, and not just your messages, any message that passes through.

Node links are a bit different just to gather information. The problem
hasn't been fixed yet but I suspect it soon will be. Links here will soon
look as they did before.

Agreed. At one time I think most everyone had an 80 column screen, today
they could be bigger or smaller in the case of a phone, tablet, or a wide
