yes and no... i was the one complaining about the robot taking ANY series
of three dashes as the EOM marker...

 TL> Whoever it was, sure took up a lot of time telling me the robot was

yes, that was me... the three dashes EOM marker -=*MUST*=- start at the
first column /and/ must only be =three= dashes not four or more... in other
words, my 75 dashes lines should never be seen as an EOM marker...
especially not when it is at the top of a message that has 100 more lines
following it...
