Hey Tony!

 TL> it does break some systems that try to group messages by subject.

Especially ones that use the REPLY kludge given that it doesn't exist.

 TL> at least 15 years of serious shell scripting

Good thing I asked then.  I am not sure when I started calling this WeBeBashing
but I've been scripting this off and on for a bit under 20 years since back
then there was little choice in the matter if looking for a purely linux
solution to fidonet messaging.

Anyhow at the moment only an issue with null delimiters in msg's but nothing
mission critical seeing they can be translated to something else before
processing (<- usually for display purposes).

 TL> So, try me, I'm no stranger to scripting. :)

Sounds good.  Next time I encounter a glitch you'll be the first I ask.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
