  Paul's Msged only removes Tearlines and Origin lines following the
EOT. You'd have to send the "secret" message in a false Tearline like:
"--- EOT is the perfect way to fuck messages".

  But he sent me a "Dear Brenton" letter accusing me of maliciously
sending out-of-spec messages.

  Now I'm waiting for him to tell me what the hell spec I broke.
