Hi Andrew.  I have been tidying up my file areas recently
(actually did something about the files in \max\file\uncheck
that have accumulated for the last 1-2 years since I started
running the BBS), and thought I would try to find that recipe
program that I have mentioned before as being stuffed up
thanks to shoddy mail standards.  From the README! of MM707.ZIP,
available for FREQ from me (this is a shareware recipe program),
in the history it says:

  A new export format has been added which eliminates the hyphens in the
  header and footer; this provides compatibility with BBS systems that
  could not use hyphens.

I think we should all hang our heads in shame that we make authors
of recipe programs have to learn about mail standards because we
designed a system that is so shoddy that the poor guy can't even
transmit hyphens in peace.

SHEESH!  Paul.
