Right from the Horse's Mouth -- "it's not a bug". Can somebody
verify the delinquent behaviour under Max/HPT for non-UNIX and get back to
the Husky team?

Here is a snippet from a private e-mail between Scott and myself:

wwg> max/me_misc.c -- Always writes \0x01 at the end of the kludge
wwg> lines -- Bo Simonsen is reporting that this appears to be the
wwg> source of the extra empty kludge lines showing up in echomail
wwg> posts originating from Maximus (NT versions, too), but tossed
wwg> with something other than Squish. Comments?

sjd> The MsgAPI "control string" is not the same thing as a Fido
sjd> kludge line.  The MsgAPI spec in the Squish developer's kit
sjd> states (at least implicitly in the examples) that the control
sjd> info can end in SOH. (Okay, perhaps this could have been better
sjd> documented in the  original description of the control info.)

sjd> If other people are converting control info directly to kludge
sjd> lines, they're not doing it right.  See CvtCtrlToKludge() in
sjd> msgapi\msgapi.c.

Cheers,
Wes
