   I guess it's the DOS heritage of BBSing. 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.

   I'm looking at these messages inside of .pkt files. These lines start with a   
   CRLF, it's completely out of place there.
