Description
Hi,
saltpack armored messages usually don't do line wraps when the message is short or with long messages it wraps at 3200 characters. A Usenet friend of mine suggested the following Perl
one-liner to have nicely formatted saltpack messages.
perl -pe 's/./.\n/g' | fmt -s | perl -pe 's/^ //'
Maybe worth considering to have the same feature in saltpack or keybase's implementation,
to obtain nicely formatted messages.
Regards
Stefan
