On 2019 May 20 11:41:12, you wrote to me:
i like that... does this also mean that we should set the option in
scfg for fseditor so that it also saves the COL control line??
It shouldn't need the COLS control line. That's really only for
editors that artificially shorten "paragraphs" due to line-wrapping
and fseditor.js now doesn't do that (by default).
ok... i thought the COLS control line was also to help other readers but yeah, if fseditor doesn't do that any more, i can see where it isn't needed in the same way that golded doesn't...
Yeah, it was to assist readers in re-wrapping a message to know whether existing line-breaks were hard or soft (based on the original column width).
are my long line paragraphs, like the one i just wrote above, still coming in with hard CRs in them?

It contains CRLF (0D 0A) pairs within your long line paragraph. Calling these sequences of characters a "hard CR" seems odd to me, but yeah, they're there.
