+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.
