    Just curious... how do you get MultiMail to use '===' in the tearline vs.
    the default '---'? I am a few versions behind, so maybe that is part of
    it. <GRIN>

    Thanks!

    That would be a synchronet thing.

    Don't know. I thought --- was the standard (at least on Fidonet), but I could be wrong.

    It is. But when SBBSecho adds its own tear-line (---) to a message it (by default) converts any existing tear lines to "===".

    Yeah that makes sense.

    There is a ConvertTearLines keyword in sbbsecho.ini. Setting it to true would likely cause an existing tearline to be converted to === but I haven't tried myself.

    The setting defaults to off/No, so more than likely, it's not SBBSecho doing it but rather Synchronet itself (sbbs) - when you post a message locally, it convert any tear lines in the message body (including quoted text) to "===".

    I have ConvertTearLines = false in my sbbsecho.ini. I think Multimail will
    add it's own tear line so this is just a test to see what sbbsecho does with it.

    I suspect it will leave it intact??

    I just switched ConvertTearLines to true.

    Just looking at the results.. :)

    Just did a bit of creative editing, to show the difference side by side. :)

    There you go Al, you can see the difference the ConvertTearLines setting has. Pretty much as expected. :)
