I wish to add to this that I haven't heard the real problem talked
about yet. We have a FIDO<>USENET gateway here and receive message
that will only work with uucp transfers. You can mail/send a message
with out 'lf' 'cr' or what ever from our site to a internet site without
a hands on problem. These messages must be downloaded to a pc, and broken
up into 80 character lines before being mailed as digests to/through
internet sites or overseas. UFgate doesn't address this problem and it
should. (Since the author of UFgate is on both nets, (FIDO and UNIX) he
should be aware of this problem. Let hope this can be fixed soon.
