 RS> "SOT:"

there's also "EOT:" that goes with this... they were used to indicate the 
"Start of Text" and "End of Text" of the message body in an effort to separate 
the control lines from the message body... the individual that introduced these 
didn't like having to process the message body to find the control lines... 
apparently they were not used to "stream processing" and separating data into 
different areas as the "stream" flowed by... instead they wanted things to be 
more like email/news where the header and control lines were distinctly 
separate from the message content...
