OOOHHHHHHH, The Dashes are the issue? I thought you were talking about the Sig line and the Origin lines repeating the same information. Mike Cothran taught me that the 3 dashes were needed to let the fido system know it was the end of the message. Ok, I'll just stop using them then. In all my years on Fido, this is the first time anyone has ever said anything to me about the 3 dashes.
