it'll be hard to see on a standard 80x25 terminal screen... if the terminal is 
wider than 80 columns, it should be easier to see since it is forced 
wordwrapping to fit within 80... i'd guess that 120x25 would work to try to see 
it as long as the BBS software doesn't try to format it for you on 
transmission...

of course, having the raw PKTs would tell the real story, too... especially the 
one coming in and one going out where the message could be compared at a 
digital level...

my old system used to archive both inbound and outbound PKTs specifically for 
research like this... it is harder to do with my current setup on my main 
system but it is something i've been thinking about doing and how to go about 
doing it... i may have to (re)learn some C to do it, though... especially if i 
do it the easiest and most direct way by adding the capability to sbbsecho to 
copy the PKTs before processing the inbound ones after they are possibly 
unarchived and then to also copy the freshly generated outbound PKTs before 
they are placed into the BSO... hummm...
