   After some recent UTF-8 test in the JAMNNTPD echo, Tommi had to disable soft   
   CR stripping in GEcho.   
      
   FMail has the option to remove those, but it's disabled by default. I think   
   that it only works for importing to the messagebase.   
      
   Synchronet's SBBS by default removes soft CRs, but it seems it does not apply   
   to UTF-8 messsages. I don't know if it's only when importing to its bases.   
      
   Don't know about others...
