In that case, Ezymail at 3:635/727 must have stripped it off for some
strange reason??!! Please resend ASCII 002 in your reply, and also, send me
a *netmail* copy of your original message. Ezymail does not get to play
with netmail at 3:635/727.

It is deliberately stripped by Jelly-Bean. Until GoldED stops ignoring it,
I'll continue to do that. It was done for space reasons, as the 141
character is effectively redundant: GoldED does its own reformatting.

Cheers.
