(I tried to change the tag and subject of this thread, but it seems nobody
is following my lead, so I follow the pack and post this back on the PIC
tag with the 18F4550 subject :)


What I never understood is why mail servers have to peek into my message
lines. They shouldn't really care about what is there, where the CRs and/or
LFs are -- they should just pass it on, please, the way it was sent...

Does anybody know why mail servers look for line ends in messages? What are
they trying to find?
