Topic: zephyr
Question:
there is an annoying misfeature in zephyr running in tty mode: it doesn't
wordwrap to break up lines longer than 80 chars. If the recipient is on
a terminal which doesn't do automatic wrapping (which is most vt100-style
dialups), everything after the 79th column of each message line gets lost.
is this going to be fixed soon?

Send mail to "bugs@athena" describing this problem. Due to the timing
of the Athena release, it probably won't be fixed before fall (there will
likely be a fixed version in the zephyr locker before then, however).
