[rancid] terminal width on Cisco ASA

[Chris Gauthier]

I find that I get wrapped lines and combined lines occasionally in the email, but is stored correctly in the repository.  It's never been that big of a deal to me, so I just live with it and recognize it's something to do with diff and email.  I'll see if I can find an example and forward it on.
