The screenshots shown yesterday were generated for runs in "xterm-color"
and UTF-8 settings. I just repeated those tests with "rxtv" and UTF-8
with the very same results as shown in screenshots 1 to 4. Is the latter
setting equivalent with what you refer as "rxtv-unicode"?

Great. Now I only need to get hold of such a tarball, haven't svn
installed on my Mac ;-)

Just to make sure: I didn't express myself precisely enough in my last
posting, because I meant *every* selection box I do know of showing up
without simulated line characters, . "v" and the postponed selection
box.

The latter brings me to yet another observation of mine where I'm not
sure whether this is a new feature or a "glitch". IIRC removed
every file in the postponed directory after finally sending the article.
With I noticed that these files will be kept after sending. Is
this a new feature that can be configured or is this a "glitch"? Just
curious, and sorry I haven't downloaded the new manual, yet.

Regards,
Michael
