I thought it was called "the meatball" ?

The meatball had replaced the worm. The meatball is out. The worm is back.

That's not quite true. The worm (70's), replaced the meatball (50's),
which replaced the worm (90's?) which replaced the meatball (now).

Yeah, my MicroPlanet Gravity newsreader doesn't allow me to type in, or
paste in, lines that are over 80 columns. When I'm quoting, it will
warn me that the quoted area is over 80 columns, but it will still allow
me to post it. It's weird like that.

Just FYI in Thunderbird all you have to do is paste a link as a
quotation and it won't auto-wrap it.

I'll certainly need to look at Thunderbird, because I don't want to pay
for the higest tier of Office just to get a decent email reader (that
stores messages locally) for Win10. Right now, I'm still using a Win7
box for email and News.

I will use a copy of Windows Live Mail that I think is still in Windows 10
or can be downloaded.
But then use WLMQuoteFix.exe to fix up quoting.

I haven't tried Thunderbird.

So am I. They can take Win7 Pro away from me when they can pry it from
my cold dead hands.

I used to use Gnus under Emacs and Linux and might still go back to that
someday. But being able to one-click links is a big plus. Maybe that is
also supported now in Gnus, it has been that long since I last used it!

Compared to Gnus, Thunderbird is...... mostly harmless...

They seem to be co-existing for the moment. There were meatballs on
the sides of the crew transports, and worms on the back decks. I
didn't see if there was a meatball somewhere on Falcon or Dragon, but I
did notice that they broke with the PDF by having the worm on Falcon
parallel to the cylindrical axis ... which means rotated when on the
pad. "9. The logotype should never be shown on a vertical axis. It
is designed to rest on its horizontal base*line." (pg 10).
