Hi Nicholas,

On 2017-09-13 15:19:40, you wrote to me:

These messages are about linux matters, so the LINUX area is appropriate. And
Maurice is there too. ;)

 NB> As for the character marking the current message, you're referring to the

Yes the actual arrow. Without tmux there is just an extra space that makes the
columns of that line not aligned properly (in my putty window)

 NB> And by CTRL-Z I'm guessing you're referring to the internal golded

Yes.

 NB> I don't use that here, so CTRL-X in nano or :x in vim. ;)

Ok.

 WV>> Are they quoted back alright?

 NB> Yes. And if you used an unicode capable editor you would know that! ;)

It looked ok in golded under tmux on my setup, but you never know how it
displays on other systems when it's send out...

Bye, Wilfred.
