I guess it could also insert things into the dribble buffer with "\n"
instead of real newlines?  They would read the same, but would make
every dribble be on one single line...

I think I'll make that change.  It should be pretty trivial.

I'd rather vote for excluding 'posting-style' from dribble buffer, as,
being customisable user setting, it is always saved elsewhere. It takes
space and gives problems in dribble buffer for no reason.
