whitespace characters (not tabulator characters!) into the mail. The distance
between tabulator postitions can be adjusted with the
TabSize

in the configuration file (see section 6.2.50 Tabsize).
- Function:
newline
, pre-bound to: Enter, RET
-
This function inserts a hard carriage return and places the cursor to
the beginning of the next line. Note: Normally, hard carriage returns are
only inserted as paragraph delimiters or when posting formatted tables in
fidonet. For normal message text, you should not press Enter
near the end of the line, but you should type a continous text (and leave the
wrapping to MsgEd TE) and only press Enter once or twice at the
end of a paragraph. This will allow the receivers of your message to format
the message in a way that nicely fits their screen widths (not everybody is
using 80 column terminals!).
