I meant "notepad" in general, like a physical one. :-)

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.
