    On BZ&BZ bbs the dash dash dash before TitanMail tagline is converted to underscore underscore underscore. On agency it is not.

    --- TitanMail/QWK (netbsd)

    I wonder why?

    Hello apam,

    to underscore underscore underscore. On agency it is not.

    I wonder why?

    Some software will change a tearline to ___ or === so you don't get more than one tearline. I don't think it's so much the case anymore but at one time a lot of FTN software would end a message at the tearline wether it was done or not so in those days it was important.

    I think MBSE does the same thing with QWK uploads if they have a tearline.

    Ttyl :-),

    I was wondering more why one version of mystic did it but another did not. I think it might be because I stopped adding a carraige return behind my tear line as the last message from BZ&BZ did the same as agency and left it alone.

    Yeah, this one was left intact.

    Aside from MultiMail I don't know of a QWK reader that adds tearlines. It might be better just to leave it out and let the BBS do it.
