I can certainly confirm that WinDis does, so presume KA9Q does too.
But can someone please clarify/confirm once and for all...
'<newline>From ' begins a new message
'<newline><newline>From ' just means there is a blank line at the end of
the previous message :) At least that's what my own experiments with
FImail seemed to show, and I believe PCelm is the same. Is this correct?
I do remember reading that a certain program (the PM-Demon Pegasus gateway?)
was broken by a change at Demon's end, when they stopped sending 2 newlines
between messages.
