  • SBBSecho doesn't expland sole-LFs in body text to CRLF

    Linefeed characters are optional and should be ignored in FidoNet (per FTS-1), so messages stored in the message bases without carriage returns on new-lines don't necessarily view correctly on all FidoNet nodes/readers.

    SBBSecho should have the option to convert sole-LFs in exported message bodies to either CRLF or just CR.

    This isn't related to word_wrap with writeln not producing a cr ?

    ~~~
    $ cat t.js
    writeln(word_wrap("This is a test to see if there is a crlf at the end of the 80 characters or not using writeln"));
    console.putmsg(word_wrap("This is a test to see if there is a crlf at the end of the 80 characters or not using console.putmsg"));
    ~~~

    No, nothing to do with word wrap.

    And FWIW, if the input string to `word_wrap()` contains CRs, it'll add CRs to line-endings when wrapping long lines. Otherwise, it just wraps using LFs for line-endings. SBBSecho doesn't do any word wrapping.
