Apologies.
The asterisks were presumably added because I highlighted the URLs.
I will try to remember to not highlight. Guessing that something renders
highlighted with asterisks.

Dear Truth,
I would not advise using the asterisks in the github citation.

The "xmitmsgx" message formatter is a CMS 'XMITMSG' work-alike for
Linux, Unix, and Unix-like systems.
The latest release is out now, 2.2.4, available on GitHub.

I have used it in a couple other projects. Works.
The messages file is source compatible with CMS 'GENMSG', but this
utility does not require "gen".
It does attempt to accommodate locale settings.
I first got hooked on CMS 'XMITMSG' back in the Gopher and Webshare
days. Had never actually used it, but community pressure to employ it in
CMS Gopher was overwhelming. As I got to know the tool, I fell in love
with it. Always then wanted it in Unix land, and now have it. Ahhhhh...
