It's not a matter of Windows or Linux. It's a matter of fidonet. FTS-0001 has 
this to say about it:


      A 'hard' carriage return, 0DH,  marks the end of a paragraph, and must
      be preserved.

      So   called  'soft'  carriage  returns,  8DH,  may  mark  a   previous
      processor's  automatic line wrap, and should be ignored.  Beware  that
      they may be followed by linefeeds, or may not.

      All  linefeeds, 0AH, should be ignored.  Systems which display message
      text should wrap long lines to suit their application.




Bye, Wilfred.
