   Hi Al,

   > If it will stop processing commands after the tearline I'll do it that way,

   I really don't know what it will do Lol... but I think you will be ok.  It's   
   in the words/phrases in the _body_ of the message that can cause problems that   
   I've seen...   
      
   If your tagline causes problems, it's no big deal to then send areafix another   
   message  with:   
      
   echo -MYSTIC   
   echo -LINUX   
      
   or if you don't want any echomail at all just send in an areafix for file   
   areas with the file keyword:   
      
   file +^pdngo   
      
   (links all the pdngo areas)

   I figure those are the lines you worried about? I think BBBS will ignore info   
   in the tagline, Origin area of course.   
      
   Take care,
