I don't know if it is SIPB or athena who supports XMH, but since it is
a useful and neat program, I am assuming that it is you.
The compliment is appreciated, but is misplaced. Xmh is an X
program supported by Athena, not by the SIPB.
In the compose message state of Xmh, when the editor does a word wrap,
it does not place a carriage return in the file so when someone looks
at it on a normal screen, all kinds of weird wrap around effects
occur. Why couldn't someone modify the code to insert that carriage
return when the editor pulls a word down to the next line?
Good idea -- xrn, the X-based newsreader, already has this
capability. You might want to send the suggestion to "bugs", and
they'll forward it to the X Consortium.
