[Pan-users] message formatting

[Hendrik Boom]

I sometimes have occasion to cut text from a shell window and paste it 
into a message.  It looks OK when i edit it, but after I post it and it 
gets back to me, the formatting is completely screwed up, with newlines 
appearing at random places, and the original newlines completely gone.  
Presumably someone thinks this is useful.

Is there some way to prevent this?
