  • 80 character line limit when viewing messages over nntp

    From Khronos@VERT/CWSHACK to All on Mon Jun 3 13:23:54 2024
    Afternoon all,
    It seems that when I view messages over nntp any lines that are over 80 characters in length seem to be getting cut off when viewing messages.
    Is this a potential client issue or nntp issue in general?

    Thanks for any input you can provide.

    Potential client issue. What client are you using?

    I'm using Slrn to read the messages.

    Perhaps it was a scroll left/right command you're missing? https://www.slrn.org/docs/slrn-manual-7.html#akey_article_right

    Maybe you want to enable wrapping? https://www.slrn.org/docs/slrn-manual-7.html#akey_wrap_article

    The lines just aren't wrapping. Press
    the right arrow to see to the right.
