Why NOTE? (NOTEpad?)
I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure the use of that kludge pre-dates notepad.exe in Windows existence.
I meant "notepad" in general, like a physical one. :-)
Other than SBBS, is there any other software that generates it?
Yeah, I think I first saw that with QuikEdit, ICEedit, TIDE, etc.
Ah yes. I checked some old bases and found a few of those.
I didn't remember about that kludge. I thought it was something more recent, and I'm only seeing in messages from SBBS systems (and in some patched *NNTPd server). That's why I asked here.
Thanks.
