-> That's a good question. I haven't see any BBS message editors that insert a
-> so-called "soft CR" and FTS-1 says they (character
-> 0x8d) should be ignored when importing packets, so that whole concept just
-> seems to be an anachronism. Does anyone actuall
-> send/receive "soft CRs"?
                                              
FWIW,

Actually PCBoard has *always* supported Soft_CR, QuickBBS v1.0 and all
the descending clones have supported Soft_CR - mainly due to Adam's
design of the message base - it really needed it as everything is stored
as 255 char strings.

A few existing systems do, as I had to reformat when storing into my
newsgroup server software (final destination).
