>Description:

The new slrn with the new libslang2 does not seem to be able to draw
the line-drawing chars that slrn uses for laying out threads. It draws
spaces instead.

This is annoying enough to be a showstopper.

>How-To-Repeat:

run the new slrn, open a newsgroup with a thread.

>Fix:

no clue.

I can test though...
