   FWIW1: there are two places where 0x8d may be acted on...   
     1. the tosser may strip by ignoring completely and skipping   
     2. the BBS may strip or convert to 0x0d while displaying the message   
        or when packaging it for offline mail   
      
   FWIW2: sbbsecho, the FTN tosser for Synchronet BBS, has just added the option   
   to strip or not 0x8d characters... the default is to leave them alone and   
   ignore them by not reacting to them at all... they are copied as they are and   
   applies to both echomail and netmail... this is the good (proper?) form of   
   ignoring for this situation ;)

   Log Message:   
   Add option to strip so-called "Soft CRs" (0x8D) from incoming messages.   
   The default is off (no stripping). 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.

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... SystemD would be a good OS but it needs a decent init system.
