Hi guys,

I've been looking at this (because I wrote the code back in the mists of 
time).

What I'm sending as EOL characters with the QWK networking is chr(227).  The 
spec seems to indicate that:

"For unclear reasons, new-lines sequences are normally represented by the 
character 0xE3 (227). In UTF-8 encoded messages, Synchronet uses ASCII 10 
(LF)t o represent new-lines in QWK message bodies."

So... what should I do to make these avatar messages parse on systems other 
than Vert (until everyone updates to a new version)?  I think I'm following 
the spec and the spec says that Synchronet converts to LF, not CR/LF.  

I could change it to send CR/LF in the QWk packet but that is against the 
specification.  

Thanks,

Mark
