Anyone else have this problem?

Below is a copy of the message from the sysop -

On 10-27-02, CRAIG HEALY said to JIMMY DAY:


CH> -> -> It looks like you have had the same problem from Multimail..

JD> -> Yes it may be a glitch in MM, but I've been using it for a few
JD> -> months on 2 other BBS and never had a problem like this!
 
CH> It may be some subtle incompatibility between MM and the WildCat
CH> mail system.  Unfortunately, it only rears it's ugly head from MM.
CH> None of the other OLRs have even done that.  I mentioned to the
CH> author I'd be more than willing to work with him to find the
CH> problem.  I think he made an account on here for that, but I never
CH> heard back from him.
  
JD> -> As for editing, I use the "notepad" text editor in
Win98, and it
JD> -> is a "separate" program from MM, so no matter how much I edit,
JD> -> would it matter? After editing, correcting words, cut and paste,
JD> -> notepad just passes the final version on to MM.
  
CH> I wonder if it adds some non-printable control chars that MM
CH> interprets as EOM (end of message) flags?  That would certainly do
CH> it.  Not knowing what goes on in MM under the hood, I have no way to
CH> tell..  
JD> -> I'll ask Wm. McBrine in the offline echo.
  
CH> Yes, and tell him I'll be happy to do what I can to help.  I think
CH> he wanted the raw uploaded packets, and I hadn't found a good way to
CH> save them.
  
JD> -> Sorry to have messed things up.  Like they say, to err is human
JD> -> but to REALLY mess things up takes a computer.
JD> -> :-)
  
CH> Ain't that the truth!  
  

*********  END  *************

PS - Jimmy's note - AFAIK, "notepad" is a straight text editor and 
doesn't add any "control characters", am I right?
