People often accuse me of having a very bad sense of
aesthetics, often with good reason :-) . Personally, I
don't mind text lines being jammed up together in
stack mode to save space, but I don't want to have to
use a small font that has me squinting just so that it
can keep its borders.

Anyway, first thing I do on downloading a new snapshot
is go in and manually comment out that +4; it'd just
be marginally more convenient to be able to do it from
wmiirc.
