I have enabled this option for my local dev copy of SlyEdit. I tried writing a test message to myself with a 132-column terminal and then reading it with an 80-column terminal. My message had a few lines and didn't seem to be wrapped properly - The 2nd line was wrapped significantly less than the 80-column width and the rest of the line was on the next line. Should this setting work with local messages, or is it only for messages being shared via QWK and other networked areas?

My local development copy of SlyEdit allows using the whole width of the terminal for the message and wraps as such and saves each line as its own line. I'm wondering if it needs to save each paragraph as one long line?

We might be talking about different things. The QUOTEWRAP option is for re-wrapping of the quote.txt file. If your resulting message is not displayed nicely, that could be a number of things:
1. The method of viewing the message (the internal message reader or a script)? 1. The method of saving the message to the msgbase.

My local development copy of SlyEdit allows using the whole width of the terminal for the message and wraps as such and saves each line as its own line. I'm wondering if it needs to save each paragraph as one long line?

It doesn't *need* to, but I think that should at least be an option. If all messages were stored that way, then I think we'd have fewer problems, ultimately. Synchronet's internal message viewer can certainly display single-lone-line paragraph formatted messages nicely for the current terminal size. But most messages are not created in that manner today.

I'm not talking about the quote wrap option, I was talking about the SAVECOLUMNS option.

Okay, then it just adds the "COLS" (SMB_COLUMNS) header field your messages and when viewing using the built-in message reader, it'll use that value to intelligentally re-wrap (flow) the message for the current terminal width.

If you're using your own custom message reader, it probably isn't using this columns header field (yet).

Yeah, I considered "Text Editors", but they're mainly known as "Message Editors" in the BBS world. "External" is implied.
