If you start up a DOS session and use OLX to read a QWK packet, you'll
probably see what I mean. Golded seems to handle messages generated from
Msged or Golded quite well. Other readers probably show the errors up a
little more obviously. Actually, this is my first message using Qedit as an
external editor. I might try this for a few days and see how things work.
The wrapping certainly seems better than the Golded internal editor.
