    So I got your message from 1/100 via 3/100 and it only had 1 long line of 256 chars.

    Yes, I think that is exactly right. I wish g00r00 was around and we could give him input. Maybe he is reading us.. I dunno.

    BBBS dropped a letter at the end of the fourth line. Perhaps I can talk to Kim about that issue.

    I wonder if I was part of the "problem" that made g00r00 leave?

    I was never angry about what is or isn't happening and if g00r00 ever wants input from me I'll do my best to get it to him.

    Personally, I dont think you were.

    For the record, since the conversation involved me, I wasnt angry either - the conversation changed drastically though (caught me from left field) and when claims were made of me that were not true - I provided more detail around how those claims were not true. For me, it kinda turned comical - along the lines of "did that really just happen?"

    Anyway...

    Maybe g00r00 sees it like this (I don't know), but in reality he has created this problem for himself by attacking everyone who reminded him that Mystic is creating problems in the network.

    So I havent changed my setup for many weeks. (And the only change I made a few weeks ago was to ignore soft-cr's on imported mail. Before that I've been running the same setup for months.)

    So are you the only one seeing dupes from me?

    This message will go both to 3/100 and 2/100 - I've been feeding from 3/100 for




































































































































































    several weeks now (and still from 2/100) - is this the first time you are seeing dupes?

    It only happens in the right circumstances. Mystic passes messages with long lines unchanged. That's good.. but it truncates those long lines at 256 characters. BBBS writes messages with long lines but this message is going to arrive at your node via 4/100 and it is going to be changed there, it is going to be word wrapped.

    If you'd like some testing I can connect the areas at 3/100 and we might see this happening to my messages too.

    Let me know. If we do that we can do the testing in this area so it doesn't disrupt the usual flow of the net.

    I got this via 3/100 and 4/100. I saw another in my inbound
    trucated at 256 characters but BBBS trapped it as a dupe and sent
    it away to dupe heaven.

    I only got the one truncated at 256 chars it seems.

    Okay, thanks. So nothing has changed since the last test. I still believe the problem is created by Mystic 2020/03/26. Maybe someone can test the newest build.

    I only got the one truncated at 256 chars it seems.

    It's good to see messages at least trying not to change in transit. This is unexpected that they'd get truncated at 256 characters.

    I've seen file descriptions in tic files truncated at 256 characters in times past, likely the same sort of problem.

    255 characters is the maximum length of a Free Pascal ShortString: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu9.html

    Yes, I think that is exactly right. I wish g00r00 was around and we
    could give him input. Maybe he is reading us.. I dunno.

    He is reading on Scinet at least.

    I wonder if I was part of the "problem" that made g00r00 leave?

    I was never angry about what is or isn't happening and if g00r00 ever wants input from me I'll do my best to get it to him.

    Best as I could tell, you only offered information about bugs (that mystic was changing mail in transit, for example, which causes network issues) so if
    you were a part of the problem he has rather thin skin.
