Hello Wilfred,   
      
   Under  "Miscellaneous", "Message base", there is a switch "Remove lf/soft cr".   
      
   I would like to break this into two seperate switches, one for LF and one for   
   SR.   
      
   Because:   
      
   Treating the SR (hex 8D) as a special character in Fidonet messages is a   
   legacy from the Wordstar age. It may have been a good idea when Fidonet was   
   conceived, but these days it is treated as a printable character in most   
   character sets. Notably in the character set most used in Fidonet messaging:   
   CP866. 0x8D can also be part of a well formed UTF-8 sequence. So removing the   
   soft return is not a good idea in most cases today.   
      
   The LF OTOH should not occur in the body of Fidonet messages. They do appear   
   however when an external text editor such as edit or notepad is used in   
   combination with some Fidonet editors like Golded.   
      
   The specs say, that when encountered, LFs should be ignored, so it is not   
   really harmful, but it annoys certain hard line nitpickers among us, so an   
   option to remove LFs is useful in order to apease them.   
      
   I could live with just changing it into "remove LFs" and not touch the SR.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
