Re: [PLUG] what is this format?
|
Okay, that makes sense. Mutt does NOT show it to me unless
I hit "e" to edit the message. I do this when the message does
not wrap lines and it's difficult to read or when I want to
forward it reformatted.
I'll have to find a program that I can run the text through
to "clean it up" before I reformat it.
Thanks.
