    I stop reading messages for a few days, was busy getting other networks and stuff set up, and here I have hundreds of messages to read, 251 here alone.
    I guess I forgot that can happen.

    I see good discussions here, so I've also been putting in my 2 cents here
    and there.

    Messing with MultiMail, not because I have to, because I wanted to.
    I noticed one difference already, it can go full screen on my laptop
    just fine, I used ot have issues with that in the past.

    Of course, some ANSI in the viewer still doesn't display right
    probably in large part because of the screen size, eh whatever.

    It is a little weird though, I guess I forgot it just uses the
    default text editor as the message editor. So here I am posting
    to fsxNet using Sublime Text. LOL A little modern, a little retro.

    I don't have eyes on ansi a lot although I enjoy it when I do.. :)

    Is your terminal UTF-8? Mine is and I find I get better results if I start mm in a non UTF-8 terminal.

    LANG=en_CA mm

    I don't know if that will work better or not but you could try.

    Ttyl :-),

    Are you pressing 'V' to view the ANSI? Works well here.

    It is a little weird though, I guess I forgot it just uses the
    default text editor as the message editor. So here I am posting

    You can define whatever editor you want to use in the config file.

    I'm using MM under Linux, with the 'nano' editor.

    Yeah, I am, but it looks all garbled. Like multiple lines mashed together,
    and when I go into the line by line mode several of the lines write over
    each other instead of going to a new line.
