Glad it worked! Thankfully it only took me a couple tries before
hitting the right variable. Plus, it was of interest as I've long
noticed this issue myself. Out of curiosity... *should* this work
without the =. auto=? It's been in my config so long I'm not really
even sure why I put it there, but from re-googling around I think it's
just an appearance/preference thing. Do you want your headlines
separated by a newline or not -- is that the gist?

If so, should this be glitching?

I've had other odd behavior where I'll fold the last headline and it's
last few characters will end up after the ellipsis and now wonder if
this was causing that as well.


Anyway, glad you're all set!
John
