   Yep, that's exactly what's happened because where *incoming* Fido messages     
   are concerened, I've finally realised that OpenXP uses its own prorietary     
   kludges. Couple of examples .....   
      
    ---------  --------   
   | FTS-5003 | OpenXP |   
    ---------  --------   
    CHRS  -->  X-XP-Charset   
    TZUTC -->  EDA   
      
    AA> If you think it's OpenXP doing it, is it happening in both Linus and Win

   I'm assuming so but I don't know for sure as I'm no longer using the Linux     
   version on a daily basis.
