This is a test, never posted before. Should work eh?

Excellent. Now for a really extraneously long sentence to see how this
client handles word wrapping. It looks good here on the sending side,
as well it is incentivizing bottom-posting by default.

I feel a strange can of worms has been opened here. I have not used dc
before, but I tested the output. It also works the same way inputting
the integer product of the factorization into other number to ASCII
converters I found on the web. Reading the man page did not really
clarify for me what the PAP sequence at the end is doing, I gather the
'P' are pops if I read it right, but I did not find what the capital 'A'
is doing in there, or why this functions to generate the ASCII from the
integer.

The github link I removed the "7" to inspect the repo but here I am even
more lost.

This entire chain of events was set into motion by the first output
string of a random username generator of a bygone era, years ago.

So the text in Thunderbird wraps cleanly when you are composing a
message as you'd expect, but it does not actually include the newline(s)
when the message is sent, which is not a behavior that I appreciate.

For this message, I used the Ctrl+R Rewrap as another test, to see if it
impacts the final output. I found no option keys in the Config Editor
to automate this Rewrap process if it does indeed work.

The P prints the top of stack. For numeric values it interprets them as
multiple bytes and dc's string constants (like [hello dc!]) would be
printed as is.

The A is a hex "digit", so 10 decimal, which is a linefeed.

some-long-nuber P # print that number as string
A P # add a LF

You can play with it easier after switching to hex numbers:

16 i 486920746865726521 P # is "Hi there!" without LF
A P # LF added now.

Alternatively:

16 i 4869207468657265210A P # includes the LF directly.

And for string to bigint I still use python2 because there `reduce`
needs not to be imported:

$ python2 -c 'print reduce(lambda x,y:(x<<8)+y,map(ord,"headyprimes"))'
126207040828807930834675059

And `factor` just is there...

$ factor 126207040828807930834675059
126207040828807930834675059: 3 47 541 1543 7027 7208759 21167561

Nö. \o/

And Google Groups still allows posting to Usenet.
