Yes, lines longer than 80 characters will loose those characters so create
those files with lines no more than that.

TheDraw is still one of the best. You'll need dosemu or something similar.

Hello, when i post from a text file Mystic cut lines; i am not an expert so i
ask you....
My text files are in symple text without "return" or "enter" at the end of each
line, is it correct?
Maybe I have to create my file with at most 80 characters/columns like an ANSI
template?
Other thing, which good ansi editor do you recommend for linux?
Many thanks :-)

Yeah, I've noticed that if you post a text file with mutil you'll need to
make sure that your file is no more than 80 characters wide otherwise mutil
will cut it off.

Since you're using linux, if it's just a plain text file you can use something
like:

cat mymessage.txt | fold -s -w 78 > newmessage.txt
or
cat mymessage.txt | fmt -w 78 > newmessage.txt

Which will make your text file no more than 78 characters wide.

I'm not too sure about ANSI files, I know I've saved files in TheDraw at 78
characters wide on occasion, but I don't tend to post ANSI that often.
