Previously, Soft-CRs were always stripped,       but this behavior is now seen as an anachronism as CP437 char 141 is an       important non-English laguage character and used as such in FidoNet msgs.       ----- snip -----              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers?
