Multimail and other QWK readers       will wrap your text up with CRLF at the end of lines and I think MBSE does       that with messages saved on the BBS also.              CRLF has been a PITA since day one. It makes messages harder to format on a       screen that is a different size than what it was saved on. It was great to       format messages for an 80x25 screen when everyone was using that but not       everyone uses that today.               VC> Is this block being created from a msg created within mbse, i.e., say        VC> golded or other message editor ?              I'm looking at these messages inside of .pkt files. These lines start with a       CRLF, it's completely out of place there.               Ttyl :-),        Al              ...
