It looks fine here. I wish I would have grabbed that pkt before I tossed it
at 757.2, But I have the message I am replying to waiting for 757.2 to pick
up.

Let me have a look..

Looking at the above in that pkt file there is a ^M at the end of each
line. That will cause word wrapping on the readers terminal at that point.
I suppose that is OK and since that is the way it originated we don't want
to change any of that.

Perhaps it would be a good thing if lines were not wrapped and just left as
one long line until the author of the message hits the enter key?

In that case the line would wrap depending on the terminal the reader is using.

And of course an important detail here is not to change message content
that passes through your node. It looked like some wrapping (added ^M
characters) was happening at a Mystic node. Perhaps we should test that
with an upto date version of Mystic and see how that goes.

This is just a bit technical for me though, I think mark, Maurice and
probably others can give you better information than I can.

This thread might get a good going over in the FTSC_PUBLIC area? There are
a large number of folks in there that could answer questions more clearly
and completely than I can.

Yes, I think you are upto speed.

My summary:

Mystic appears to be wrapping text when the message is saved. That is best
done when the message is being viewed on the readers screen.

Mystic also appears to be wrapping text in messages when it tosses them on
to linked nodes. Message content should not be changed in transit.
