Hi DM,

I've noticed something a bit odd in some messages from Vertrauen on Dove-Net: The origin line in messages from Tmccaf seem to be slightly different than the origin in other messages. As a result, when reading with msglist.js (or DDMsgReader.js) on an 80-column UTF-8 terminal, the origin line in messages from Tmccaf is wrapped. Also, it seems that after the wrap point, the rest of the line on the screen isn't clared. The stock Synchronet reader doesn't have this issue.  On a non-UTF8 terminal it looks as expected, because msglist.js uses utf8_cp437() to translate the text.

While reading Dove-Net Synchronet Discussion with msglist.js, I took some screenshots of one of Tmccaf's messages and one of yours to compare (including hex output showing the origin line).
