• Suggestions for improvement - mystic FSE

    From Hawke@21:1/148 to All on Monday, October 17, 2016 22:31:00
    I have a suggestion for improvement of the mystic FSE. One thing that an external editor I like (tide) has is that it will word-wraw quotations and reformat them. Even usenet style quotations.

    The command is Control D on the first line of the quotation and if it detects
    a quote marked with AA> or nested AA> BB> CC> quotes it will re-wrap them in kind. Mystic has a paragraph reformat feature but it does not address the nested quotes in a message.

    I think this is a Great feature that everyone would enjoy. It beats cutting off the text on the right margin chopping of characters.

    If Mystic's FSE has Tides rewrapping or Tide would have mystic's
    spellchecking it would make a perfect editor.

    Golded+ supports both features, and JAM messagebases.

    The End users can't benefit from Golded, although I would be curious
    as to what the config parameters for the re-wrap are on golded as I
    would rather it not wrap at 79... which makes other editors re-wrap it
    wonky if quoted again.

    Sure they can.
    I have benefited from it for years as a point!

    although I would be curious as to what the config parameters for the re-wrap are on golded as I would rather it not wrap at 79... which
    makes other editors re-wrap it wonky if quoted again.

    It is detailed in the commented config.
    Here are some entries:

    // How to display quotes in messages.
    VIEWQUOTE YES ; Show all quotes.
    ;VIEWQUOTE NO ; Show only the first line of each paragraph.

    // Right margin for editing quotes in the internal editor.
    // EDITQUOTEMARGIN 78

    // The margin for quotes in a reply.
    // QUOTEMARGIN 78

    // Add blank lines before and after blocks of quotes in messages?
    ;QUOTESPACING YES

    // Your quote prefix string. Must contain a '>' character!
    QUOTESTRING " FL> "

    // QUOTEWRAPHARD <yes/no> (yes)
    // This keyword controls behaviour of quoted text (wrap or reflow).
