subject: HTick question

Hi All,

I have noticed something interesting when receiving files via filebone. When
Htick is importing the incoming files, it creates a files.bbs which Mystic is
able to import from.

The problem I've been seeing, is some in the inbound tic files will have a
Desc line that extends for 300 - 500 characters. When HTick creates the
files.bbs file, it puts this entire description onto one line. When Mystic
imports it, it is only importing the first 67 characters of the description.
(filename with extension of 12 chars, plus the space)

Is there a way to have HTick import the description onto separate lines of
79/80 char max? 

I see there is an option of doing this with outgoing tic files, using the
'MaxTicLineLength' keyword, but haven't seen anything for incoming files. I
just figured I'd ask here, before I write a script to use fold or something
before I import them.

Thanks in advance.
