   yes, as i've noted in this thread previously... i've seen a lot of messages   
   with the "

   hand...   
      
    ml>> i'm not sure but it should be documented somewhere in the FTSC   
    ml>> documents

   no it doesn't...

   so someone using notepad as their editor is breaking FTN standards? i don't   
   think so... any editor can be used as long as the result is readable in plain   
   text (eg: cat somemessage.txt)...
