   Hello All,   
      
   Is there a Blue Wave developer in the house, or someone who can answer a   
   question for me?   
      
   A user has uploaded mail to my BBS in Blue Wave format but there seems to be a   
   formatting problem, his messages may contain a few paragraphs but when   
   processed by the offline mail system here the message text all gets bunched   
   together into one paragraph. It makes it hard to read his posts. He is using   
   SemPoint at his end.   
      
   I use MultiMail myself at times and have never had a problem. The text of   
   messages I upload all look as I expect them to.   
      
   This user has sent me one of his uploaded .new files to look at and compare to   
   my own and I can see a difference between my upload reply .new file and his.   
      
   In his reply packet there are CRs where you would expect them (but no LF, or   
   newline) to be and in my upload packet there are CR/LF pairs.   
      
   So my question is.. what is the correct way to format a Blue Wave reply packet?   
      
   Is it OK to just use CR or should there be a CR/LF pair?
