"Truly unique" is an oxymoron and I don't buy it. It looks more
like part of your databasing. 

If you must include it in the kludge, why not just place it on a line by itself? 

That would make messages originating from an SBBS system more compatable
with existing softwear, and keep more of them from being tossed in the
bit-bucket as bad.


It could be worse ...
