AWL> PE> messages? Unless you do, you have very little concept of
AWL> PE> what "user stuff" is.

FM> I had a thought today... do you regard (continued to next message) and
FM> (continued from previous message) as "user stuff"?

The (continued to next message) is not part of the PKT standard, as far as
the protocols are concerned, it is user-text.  If a user chooses to pollute
their messages with automatically-generated lines (such as signature lines,
taglines, and "in a message of" and "continued
message") crap, that's their own fault.

FM> If not (which I expect you to say if you're consistent), where does your
FM> software put the ^ASOT & ^AEOT wrt those lines? Say in a Rod Speed
FM> message if he upgraded PQWK?

Each of those split messages is a separate message.  He doesn't have to
split the messages if he doesn't want.  And if you know of a way of joining
split messages (and with the use of the ^ASPLIT kludge you can indeed do
this), then that is independent of the purpose of SOT/EOT which is to keep
the AREA, SEENBY, tear + origin crap out of the user-text.  BFN.
