- Okay, I have Waffle 1.65 and HellDiver 1.07. I don't use HellDiver EVERY time
- I read news and mail; only about half the time. Why? I dunno, maybe I
- just like the contrariness of Waffle. Or perhaps it's because I find it
- easier to get to some of my DOS utilities from there.
-
- Anyhow, today I noticed that sometimes a long mail message will also
- include the text of the next mail message, appended at the end after
- three smileyface characters. The next message (same text as that
- appended to previous one) comes out looking normal.
-
- I have a suspiscion that HellDiver is responsible for this: yesterday I
- used HellDiver to delete about half of the messages pending in my
- mailbox. And I noticed this strange symptom only after I had done that.
- But the problem /might/ predate my use of HellDiver to delete messages.
-
- Anyhow, this isn't a major problem; just an annoyance. I have not been
- able to repeat the bug, wherever it resides.
