subject: When to add --- and . Origin...

Are the tearlines only added by the tosser? Or (as I see GoldEd do) is it
okay for the Message System (BBS or in my case NNTP Service) to append the
Tear line?

And, of course the next step down - * Origin... I noticed JAMNNTPd would
double space in from of the original when reading or replying to the
message. Any reason I should or should not follow their lead?

And on a new post - okay if I add the Origin line too? Or is that a Tosser piece?

* Down to the wire on bringing ExchangeBBS NNTP Service online. Once this
build goes online, what other message bases would it make sence for it to
support (right now JAM only, thinking about *.MSG for those running
d'Bridge)... not sure how many people still use HMB? And did anyone
actually start to use Steve's GoldBase? (Thats around the time I folded up
shop and became an ISP)... I do see Squish is being used by some, and
PCBoard 15.4 structure by others...

And per those two topics, if an editor appends the tear line and possible
the Origin, should the BBS/NNTP re-tear? (As my next project is a full
color NNTP client that will understand ANSI).
