Just for your information, lines longer than 78 characters make it uncomfortable for me to read otherwise very interesting posts, since I still use a conventional news-reader like slrn on a terminal. Panning is possible but as I said: uncomfortable. That is why usenet etiquette mentions: RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines October 1995 - Limit line length to fewer than 65 characters and end a line with a carriage return. This is even more restrictive than what I politely asked for, namely 78chars. I'm no usenet-police, just a reader speaking in my behalf. I'm sorry to have ruffled a few feathers. As I said, your posts are interesting and most welcome. Have a nice day and keep up the good work. Eike ZP6CGE Any chance you can redefine your line to a higher number of characters? If you want to use a special editor or just pass special arguments to it, set the variable ``editor_command'' in your .slrnrc, e.g.: set editor_command "vim '+set tw=72' +%d '%s'" starts vim with a textwidth of 72 columns and the cursor on the first line of the message's body. For a more detailed discussion of this, see the entry ``editor_command'' in the reference manual. http://www.slrn.org/docs/FIRST_STEPS.txt Jim Wd5JKO Thank you for the heads-up. I was looking for this but couldn't find it. I definitely looked in the wrong places. Kind regards, Eike |
