yeah... he's using my emailfidonet gateway (via GIGO) ;)

the only thing i'm aware of that he may have a problem with is
"spurious" lines that may appear in the message body before the actual
test he is interested in... at least one of my packages seems to have a
slight (buffering?) problem with long lines and sometimes the extraneous
text ends up in the first line or two of the gated message's body... i
saw on, the other day, where the date field go cut and the first line
was "on, dec 29, 2008" for example... "on" was the
completion of the "Date:
Mon" control line...

i've gone into my configs and set the "kill" on some of the longer
control lines but i don't know if that will/can actually handle the
spurious lines problem that richard may be running into...

it would be nice if the messages he received contained a "start here"
type line so that his stuff could simply toss out everything above there
and possibly even a "stop here" line so that everything below was also
tossed out... however, i think that's something that he'd have to take
up with the guy on the other end maintaining the input form stuff...

FWATW ;)
