{New release! New release!} (I'm working on subliminal messages, how'd I
do? :> ) Also, the documentation hasn't been updated for
god-knows-how-long,
so some new DOC's would be nice.. :> As well as a WHATSNEW.??? file or
something of that nature, just for sheer curiosity.. :>

Also, I've got somewhat of a bug (or an annoyance if you will) to report..
When you quote/reply to a message, it will only add #13's to lines in
certain situations, for one, when you 'C'hange a message, it doesn't add
them, leaving you with one long line of text. And since I (as well as a few
friends of mine out there in 'modem-land') use PGP, when you attempt to
decrypt a message, PGP barfs because it can't handle the one long line.
Also, somewhat related to the above problem, when I import a file to a
message (for instance, I program so I occasionally import a segment of code
for one reason or another) MsgEd will re-format it, making it A)
Unreadable, or B) causing the reciever to spend lots of time manually
re-formatting. Is there a way now, and if not, could there be in future
releases, to toggle text re- formatting on/off? For me, that would be a
great reason to continue using MsgdEd (The main reason I use it now is,
unlike GoldEd, the only other one I like, MsgEd is free and doesn't have
annoying delays :> ). Well, that was my 2 cents... Just constructive
critisizm if you will :>

Well, you got my input.. :> I hope you keep cranking out new versions..
And I just wanted to let you know, your work is appreciated..
