  (CONTROL L HERE!)


I would REALLY APPRECIATE IT if you guys could put your control L
(form-feed/screen clear) in the first column of the message, or just not quote
it at all.  It totally screws up ARN (Amiga Read-News) when a control-l is
embedded in quoted text.

Thankyou for your anticipated cooperation.

    Another idea is to modify ARN so that it ignores ^L.

Yeah, well, I'd have to compile it to do that, and I don't (yet)
own a C compiler. I'm seriously considering SAS 5.1x and Comeau
C++, but that's a significant sum of money. I don't have enough
TIME to read mail, never mind do programming. :-)

Unless there is a way to make Arn ignore ^L's by a config item?
