greater than the standard 24 or 25 characters will provide a taller edit area,
allowing more of the message to be seen on the screen at a time.
Also, SlyEdit has no moving parts that can wear out over time.
Thanks go out to the following people for testing:
- Nick of Lightning BBS (lightningbbs.dyndns.org) for testing early versions
- Nick (AKA Access Denied) of The Pharcyde (pharcyde.org) for testing the
newer versions and for his input on various features, mainly message quoting
- echicken (sysop of Electronic Chicken) for his solution to look up the
original author of a message after a user changes the "To" name when
replying to a message

1.17 2012-12-27 Updated to add author initials before quote lines. This
is now the default behavior, but this can be disabled
with the following line in SlyEdit.cfg:
1.18 2012-12-31 Bug fix: When prefixing quote lines with author initials,
if re-wrapping quote lines resulted in an additional
quote line being created, it wasn't prefixing that quote
line with an additional > to indicate that it was being
quoted again. This was fixed.
Also, updated so that when replying to a message,
instead of getting the author's initials (for quoted
lines) from the given "To" name, it will read the
message's "From" name from the message database. That
way, if a user changes the "To" name when replying to a
message, the correct initials will be used.
If a BBS has Digital Distortion's Message Lister set up,
then it must be updated to at least version 1.31 in order
for message quoting with author's initials to work
properly when replying to a message from Digital
Distortion's Message Lister.

add-ons can be downloaded from the following web page:
