No, that doesn't appear to be the case.

bbs@bbs:/sbbs/bin$ hexdump -C /sbbs/temp/mail.out
00000000  25 4c 49 4e 4b 45 44 0a  25 48 45 4c 50 0a        |%LINKED.%HELP.|


I have a script that is sending the areafix messages so I  tried with \r\n and
then with \r and no joy. Also \n for S&G.

Must be something else going on. Maybe someone can send a hexdump of a pre
packaged areafix message or something?
