ml> [*sigh*] none of my DESC's have three or more dashes in them...
 ml> never have, actually... it is =only= the RULes files that do ;)

 TL> I found one of your rule submissions and it contains this:


 TL>  Conference rules for the OS2DOSBBS echo:                 rev. 10
 TL> Jan 01  Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
 TL>  ------------------------------------------------------------------
 TL> -----    

 TL> The series of ------ has a leading space.

correct... that was done soon after your list came online because three or
more dashes starting in column 1 was erroneously considered a tearline... i
bumped everything in 1 column and that problem went away... well, until you
had me switch to using email for the updates which required me to modify my
generation routines... that also prevented me from using fileattach for the
rules updates since email doesn't have that capability...

 TL> I will use the line containing the space and multiple ---- and
 TL> create a rule update for the marktest echo.  

 TL> Notice that while you're saying rule file attached, what I see is a
 TL> rule text file in the body of the message/

see above... with netmail, i used fileattaches... with email, that
possibility does not exist...
