Well, with Multi-Mail, I'd rather keep it under 80.

Your IQ is lower than Mine.

Hmmm, I'm using MM DOS 49 and MM WIN 50 here, looks like I need to grab a
newer Version of MM to get up to date.

I mostly use MM DOS, I used MM WIN ff I need to Copy&Paste some text into a Message.
I haven't learned how to do that with MM DOS. DUH!

I think MultiMail will do that itself. Even my linux version of MultiMail seems to wrap text with CR/LF line endings. Looks good on just about any old BBS. :)

That's the age old problem of DOS and BBSs generally.

You can grab the newest versions from..

http://wmcbrine.com/mmail

Your current version will also work well also but there were small fixes for something or other applied to the updated versions.

Ed,

When I see the Col:## getting near 78 is when I try ending a line, thinking about any Reply to my message will have a Word-Wrap problem.

I had to look at Notepad with MultiMail to see how long the line was.
If I get a long URL, I have to split it up, and note "above URL all on
one line).

That tagline was what prompted the late Nancy Backus to reply "That
explains a lot <g,d,r>". I posted a link to her obituary, and to her
graveside service in the FIDONet Memories echo, and the ILinkNet
Friendly Talk echo. I also sent that to Janis Kracht, for inclusion
in the next FidoGazette.

I found out I'm using an OLD version of BlueDV from PA7LIM, for my D-Star, DMR, and Fusion...but I've never used Fusion, and have used DMR sparingly. Otherwise, I'm going 6 D-Star Nets a week.

I switched from OLX, because it wouldn't run under Windows 10 64-bit.

If ignorance is bliss, then this world is Heaven. :P

I saw a meme where it said "We Don't Need God In California". Next to
it was a picture of wildfires, earthquakes, etc., with the words "This
Is A Warning".
