   I know Maximus will add a tear line (in fact, any FTN-enabled BBS    
   software I've run will do that).  Squish will do it also if it find an    
   echomail message without a tear line.

   I think Maximus ensures this by adding a tear line even if the message    
   has one.  MultiMail puts its own tearline in but Maximus will, on    
   occasion, "invalidate" MM's tearline.  Not sure what the criterion is    
   for that.
