I'm in the process of updating SlyEdit to write output in more of a flowed
format.  Quoted lines should still be within 80 characters (since they're
prefixed with quote charcaters), but any new text added (such as this
paragraph) should be written as one single line so that the reader can wrap it
the best way for the reader's width.  I hope this message looks good when read
on a BBS or an offline mail reader.
