   Hello James,

   If it is an echomail message, yes, there should be a tearline unless you put   
   in a PID kludge in the message.  In netmail, no tearline or origin line and if   
   you go by custom, no tagline either.   
      
   However, using high ASCII characters to start a tagline instead of "..." is   
   frowned upon in Fidonet (and several other FTN networks) because of possible   
   issues with those characters being misinterpreted.  I know in QWK networks   
   there is no high ASCII restriction.

   From what I've seen in my time hanging out around these parts, in echomail,   
   it's "tagline-tearline-origin line" without any spaces between.  I've also   
   seen plenty of messages where people put a space in between the tagline and   
   the tearline/origin combo.   
      
   I'd say if you're going to do this, put in an option to leave a space between   
   the tagline and the tearline/origin combo.  I have seen people who use cookies   
   (basically a multiple-line tagline) and they normally put a space between the   
   cookie and the tearline/origin combo.   
      
   Thank you for continuing to develop Mystic.  I appreciate your effort and time   
   invested in your software!
