Hi Artyom,

Thank you very much for reporting this.

"Newline inserted" and "Newline appended" are not included in any of the 3 
categories of messages shown by ed (diagnostics, help messages, and the byte 
counts and '!' prompt). Therefore they are not currently suppressed by '-q' 
or '-s', nor toggled by the 'H' command.

I think you are right that these two messages belong in the same category as 
byte counts and should be suppressed by '-s'. The fix will appear in the 
next version of ed. (Presumably ed-1.21 in January).

Best regards,
Antonio.
