GB> And what exactly should be _on_ the tearline.

Let me quote part of FTS-4 for you ...

  2. Tear Line

       This line is near the end of a message and consists of three
       dashes (---)  followed by  an  optional  program  specifier.
       This is  used to show the first program used to add Echomail
       compatible control information to the message. The tear line


It's very simple.


GB> I think the tearline spec (?!) should limit it to about 20 
GB> characters (if you can't explain enough in 20 characters, you've 
GB> either got software with a very long title, or you're running a 
GB> version like 0.0992748.A82719.223058 ).

'JungleMail 1.00.a 4444'
 1234567890123456789012

You mean I can place the above in the PID, but I can't add it to
the tearline?
