   Hey mark!   
      
    ml> yes, as i've noted in this thread previously   
      
   I must have missed that but now that you bring it up I will start paying   
   attention to it.  Usually when I see 8 bit characters I tend to think of them   
   as printable such as your cp437 example of 0x8d and not control codes.  It is   
   easy enough to scan for.   
      
    ml> so someone using notepad as their editor is breaking FTN   
    ml> standards?   
      
   That isn't what I meant.  All I meant is that 0x8d must not be an approved   
   control code  given that if exists in a message it should be ignored.  However   
   the mention of it must have meant that there was software that produced 0x8d   
   as soft line feeds or soft carriage returns despite there being no indication   
   of what software that was and still might be.  The only reference I can find   
   pertains to c1 codes and IBM, specifically 0x85 as a replacement for \r\n   
   which are liberally used in MS and DOS-think software to terminate lines.  I   
   am betting notepad is one of them that uses \r\n rather than 0x85 ... or 0x8d   
   for that matter.   
      
   Life is good,
