There was a problem with the way Basilix was
reconfigured to handle reading messages. With the new
feature of moving messages came a new table format
(which btw was a great mod!).

The problem with the format was two fold:

1) It split the top table in two separating the From,
To, Subject fields from their actual values. This put
the values in the middle of the screen. So if you were
using a large video display, it would put it way to the
right. Also, by just shrinking it, it would cut the
amount of space the attachment descriptions would have.

2) If the attachments were very long, the values of
the From, To, Subject, etc. fields went way to the
right. (At least that is what happened to my
configuration).

In any event, I'm uploading the new readme.htx file if
anyone would like to have a temporary fix for.

What it does is create another row and center the Move
Messages in one row and puts the attachments in
another. Therefore, I was able to shrink the top of
the page without affecting the rest of it.

If anyone would like to see it slightly different or
modified, I'm open to suggestions and would be willing
to do what I can.

    Made one more revision. If basilix detects that there are
    attachments, it will print "Attachments", otherwise it will
    not print that.

    The original printed Attachments all the time and was
    confusing for letters that had no attachments. This mod
    also puts it below the "Message Body".

    My programming isn't the best - I apologize. It's been
    years since I last programmed. Hopefully this will help
    somewhat.
