It's a matter of fidonet. FTS-0001 has       this to say about it:                      A 'hard' carriage return, 0DH, marks the end of a paragraph, and must        be preserved.               So called 'soft' carriage returns, 8DH, may mark a previous        processor's automatic line wrap, and should be ignored. Beware that        they may be followed by linefeeds, or may not.               All linefeeds, 0AH, should be ignored. Systems which display message        text should wrap long lines to suit their application.                                   Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32 1.73.17.78-B20170215        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
