Mark,

I remember when I started using Capcity BBS when I read Jean's
messages to me that I didn't see the Tab Space he uses, all I
saw was a "Period" and then his text.
When I was using Doc's Place BBS his Tab Space was at the beginning
of each paragraph in his messages.

But the 'Mystery Tagline" I can't see in Notepad is local (loco?)
on this computer.

I am trying out MMWIN49 to see how that does.
I am writing this message in XP Notepad to see if there is any
difference in what goes into my .REP packet when I send it.
