Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin

 AK>> I thought for a long time what had you meant by "double space at
 AK>> the end of a sentence" because my qouter removes double spaces.

 AH> I had suspected as much. In Fidonet we don't always know what other
 AH> people's software will do until we see it happen. But your idea of
 AH> posting an excerpt seems to work quite well if you want to keep the
 AH> original spacing.

 AH> If you &/or your quoter prefer not to use the double space, I

It is the specifics of my quoter. My quoter can format the text to a
formatted form with an aligned right margin, and in this case additional
spaces are OK. Vice versa it removes additional spaces and line returns
when I want long line paragraphs.

 AH> as they are in this example. But from my POV it's annoying when my
 AH> software will accept a double space in the middle of a line but try
 AH> to correct it if I use it near the end of a line. No matter how I
 AH> adjust the settings, it has its own ideas about line wrapping...
 AH> (sigh).

I remember you like to write your messages in the formatted form with
the aligned right margin. It means the text alignment is turned on in
your editor. In this case your editor can itself add/remove additional
spaces for the text alignment, to more exact in those places it found
proper. You can try to switch off the text alignment in the editor
settings. After this procedure your text spaces will be unchanged by the
editor itself.

Bye, Ardith!
