  Don't be silly. A blank would mean Netmail, so you remove it the 
same as you remove SOT. It's a problem of identification.

 BL> I can add a false EOT just as easily 

 PE> God you're a dork. You CAN'T add a false EOT. Log on to Sydney
 PE> PCUG and see if you can add an EOT. Good luck.

  I sent you one this morning in the message to Brenton...
