First of all, very TNX for this new
release of obcm.

I have deleted that message but I read
it on my FBB PBBS partner and it appears
normally addressed with the due data:

Mandato da........: KF5JRV
Indirizzato a.....: TODAY @WW
Tipo/Stato........: BF
Data/Ora (ARRIVO) : 07-Ago-2018 * Ore 12:23 LOC
Data/Ora (ORIGINE): 07-Ago-2018 * Ore 11:24 GMT
Bid (Mid).........: 18176_KF5JRV
Messaggio numero #: 9213
Titolo (Soggetto) : Today in History - Aug 7


The last one received of those kinda
as read on my system is correctly
address too:

Date: 18 Aug 18 11:15:00 GMT
Message-Id: <18921_KF5JRV@ik6zde.bbs>
From: kf5jrv@kf5jrv.#nwar.ar.usa.na
To: today@ww
Subject: Today in History - Aug 18
X-BBS-Msg-Type: B

However, just yesterday I saw some
7+ messages which were very malformed
i.e. without any type of identification,
no head and no bottom, but only a mess
of ASCII characters.

The failures of some terminals as BPQ,
Sally, and other windoze terminal are
that the write long lines since a CR
is done... the poor packet operator
make the rest don't understanding the
problem... too hard to do a CR near
the end of each line on the console :))

In particular, the msg concerned, the
Bid 18176_KF5JRV I download it and
save the text; then when read (not in
Edit mode) it show a sign dot (.) at
the beginning of the line ... perhaps
(that or other signs) may give the
trouble.

Don't speak then of Japans msgs which
destroy the normal character reading
at least when read them on FBB and JNOS
consoles!!!
