I have a question about 'tear lines' on messages. If Digital Man is reading this maybe he'll have some insight as a long term developer of FTN-compatible systems. Or anyone else of course please jump in.
I have a vague recollection of there being issues around "multiple tear lines" in messages - IIRC it's a topic I saw discussed in the 90s. In a very brief search I didn't find anything specifying that there can be only one tearline, so I could be chasing a false memory here. :)
I'm not aware of any actual issues around multiple lines looking like a tear line (at least on my system running Squish and Maximus it seems fine), so I'm not reporting a problem or anything - just curious if there are technical edge-cases around tear lines in messages as I seem to remember in the past some people being picky about it.
(I would expect software that cares about a tearline to search for the line starting with "---" from the end of the message anyway, eliminating any potential issue.)
