Hey Alan!

 AI> Did you get it on the Brain?

Yes to all the messages concerning that particular issue, including the
original one with \r's from hell.

Referencing "MSGID: 2:280/464.113 5cb25f80" where you got the
quote from, the answer is that it arrived intact as sent from the EuroPoint
where it originated from.  The path is as follows; "PATH: 280/464
770/1 153/757".  There are only the \r's in there that are supposed to
be.  I have the original pkt as sent from 153/757 to prove it if required
and have a backup raw pkt with the same packed msg from a different path on
the CanadARM to back up the claim that the packed msg is as it should be
and matches the original packed msg resident on the EuroPoint in a backup
of the raw pkt sent to the mothership in Lisse, Netherlands.  Counting the
raw pkt from 153/757, that totals 3 raw pkts which will verify the
integrity of "MSGID: 2:280/464.113 5cb25f80".

Simple answer is everything is as it should be.  Thank you.

Life is good,
Maurice
