subject: When to add --- and . Ori

Are the tearlines only added by the tosser? Or (as I see GoldEd do) is it okay 
for the Message System (BBS or in my case NNTP Service) to append the Tear 
line?

And, of course the next step down - * Origin... I noticed JAMNNTPd would double 
space in from of the original when reading or replying to the message. Any 
reason I should or should not follow their lead?

And on a new post - okay if I add the Origin line too? Or is that a Tosser 
piece?

* Down to the wire on bringing ExchangeBBS NNTP Service online. Once this build 
goes online, what other message bases would it make sence for it to support 
(right now JAM only, thinking about *.MSG for those running d'Bridge)... not 
sure how many people still use HMB? And did anyone actually start to use 
Steve's GoldBase? (Thats around the time I folded up shop and became an ISP)... 
I do see Squish is being used by some, and PCBoard 15.4 structure by others...

And per those two topics, if an editor appends the tear line and possible the 
Origin, should the BBS/NNTP re-tear? (As my next project is a full color NNTP 
client that will understand ANSI).
