RJ> G'day again. I've been meaning to ask ya what editor do you use when
RJ> entering message text? I remember you suggesting that I use 70 or so

There are two possible answers to your question:

1. MSGED/SQ 3.35
2. MicroEmacs 3.12

RJ> characters per line to facilitate quoting and I've tried to do this

I don't remember that, but I'm sure that both of us are on whacky
weed for so much of the time that anything could happen.

RJ> but the occasional long line sneaks through. I'm using TED.??? that

Never heard of it.

RJ> comes with SQUISH?  and I dont think it is configurable for line

I doubt it comes with Squish.

RJ> length. Is yours? If so, what is it and where dja get it?

I got both of the above products from my BBS.  I wrote the first
one, and actually modified the second one too, and am using that.

If you want to do mail properly, you should just use MSGED/SQ by
itself.  I don't do it completely properly, which is how microemacs
gets a look-in.  However, it is MSGED/SQ that is in charge of
creating the quotes, but that's not really where the problem is, the
problem is in people who use lines instead of paragraphs (like me),
and I have to manually keep my line lengths short enough to enable
quoting.

I have "minimum point" setups for DOS + OS/2, as MINPOS2.* and
MINPDOS.*, both of which use Binkley/Squish/Msged.  I suggest you
set up using one of those.  There is a lot of support for them.
Binkley and Msged I have my own versions of (available here), so
I can debug things at the source-code level.  Squish I can't
debug, but I have a replacement, Tobruk, which is what I use.
Tobruk is not as fully-featured as Squish, but you can probably
use it fine anyway.  I do at both 3:711/934.9 and 3:711/934.  Oh,
I do have to use Squish at 3:711/934, but only to compress my
mail.  BFN.  Paul.
