Don't blame posters if your software can't deal with the accepted formats
for messages.  (I'm tired of seeing Orphaned Response as a subject!)

Seems like the 'turkey' here is either the author of notesfiles (for not
updating the software) or those who keep using it when better and more robust
tools are available. Note that I use an editor, but I don't make any special
effort to delete 'garbage' lines, as they are inserted by the posting software
after I compose my message.  Notesfiles sites might end up having to build
their own network if the keep using software that is inconsistent with the
current versions and protocols.
