It seems that every one that comes through is missing it.              Not all tic processors add a "Size" line. BBBS doesn't and I don't think       Allfix or the original "tic" or "flea" does either.              > Curious to see if it was an overlooked setting, or a possible bug the crept       > in. :)              It's not a bug, it's by design. BBBS is designed to be simple and efficient.              Is the lack of a "Size" line creating a problem for you? It would be easy       enough to add a "Size" line to tic files but there would need to be some kind       of a reason to do so.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.2)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 153/0 135 757 802 6809 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 452 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 230/0 240/5832 249/206 317 261/38 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 317/3 322/757 335/364 342/200 423/81 4500/1       PATH: 153/757 221/6 1 292/854 229/426           |
