I don't know what Eric uses but I use Netscape and it displays only what
it gets. So, without CRLFs, Richard's post went off into right field for
me also. In addition, if I try to quote a message like that, Netscape will
wrap it into the compose window but cuts the line off at 256 characters.
Hi Glenn,
Since you have been explaining how Cc:, Bcc:,

Freenet mailer. Bcc seems to work just the way you

1)Yes, MS-DOS's default settings get C:\DOS to be the default

2)In the worse case, how about getting Arachne to check and see
anything that resemble DOS in the temp directory (a command.com
file in the dir and so on) and warn before
