Hello everybody.

Everytime a message is posted using Thunderbird, the line below is added to it:

--- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125

This is fine, as it's the software identification. I was wondering if anyone ever tried to modify it to be able to fit into the screen and not split just like the one above...

It *IS* truncated to 75 chars, so that it and "--- " will fit to 79
chars. :)

You can turn it off with "notearline" in your config.

That option came to my mind, but that would affect other users.

I was looking for a way to edit the Thunderbird config to make it smaller.

Yes.

Oh. You can add "general.useragent.override" into about:config.

or jamnntpd could just not be truncating things to less than 80 characters/glyphs... especially in this day in time... stuff that's truncated or force-wrapped to less than 80 chars/glyphs looks right cruddy on a (eg) 226x61 terminal... golded has the same stupid problem with things like tag lines :?

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.

I just removed the 75 chars limit in this server.

Is this better? Naah..

If I knew how "Logging in with parameters" works, I would have recommended that to Flavio. Since you are the resident guru, would you think that that might that have helped him?

Cheers,
Paul.

Yep! ;)

But for most people the tearline will wrap. That's not nice.

Hehehe! Guru, me? Naah...

But seriously, I haven't given it much thought. I simply cannot see the problem. I think it's great that the tear line is used the way it should -- but that's Johan Billing for you, for decades always with FTN functionality in the driver's seat.
