Thanks.

For those that are curious, it's a newly-introduce kludge line which reflects the width (in columns) of the editor used to create the original message text. This value can be used to assist message viewers when re-word-wrapping the message text for nice display. Synchronet has supported it for QWK networks for
a while now, so I thought I'd support it over FTN as well (using SBBSecho).

Good, it was well-named then. And the value (80) was a big clue. :-)

Question for those of us who want to implement support in our sysems, I understand like PCB test editor (^aCOLS: 72), however, what about those
of us who also support Content-Type: ... format=flowed ?? Should I use
-1, or 0 to denote do not re-word-wrap as it will contain 0x0d where it
needs to if the client formatted there post?

Like this reply, should be 1 long string, 0x0d0d then this sentenence.
(if I had implemented COLS in my newsgroup server).
