Okay, it's gone. Removed even. I hate it when I spend time thinking
out how I want the template / tearlines and little jingles, then
someone comes along and says it's screwed up. Then I start removing
whatever the hell it is they want out and IMO the message looks like
crap.
I never remember EVER having so many problems with my tearlines in any
ML any fidonet echo, any netmail in any network, than both of thebat
Maillist's

I'd have to disagree, once in awhile a jpg snapshot of a desktop can
be worth thousands of words. But, I always try to optimize the
picture down from the original bloated size before I let it rip.

Well, how was that message without the -- <enter> ? Did it conform
to everyone? I really need an answer to this.
Did it screw up anyone's setup? filters? macros? Tom?

That isn't what I was asking. I asked about that specific last
message that had the -- <enter> removed.
