    To me, it appears like it does.. but I have been unable to confirm it.

    FTS-0001.  All messages that GEcho tosses end with a NULL.  As far as I 
know, all .MSGs that Squish tosses end with a NULL too.  And most of the 
messages FastEcho tosses end with a NULL as well.

    Regardless.. CDRMAIL now adds the NULL there itself, just to be safe. :)
