Using a line of equals as a message separater is SOP for IBM CMS's Rice
Mail, probably the most commonly used mail front end on BITNET. However, I
find using MAIL to read mail consumes HUGE CPU resources compared to IBM's
Readerlist (customized for my own taste) & PEEK. I only use MAIL (MAILBOOK
actually) to "read" mail I plan to reply to. PEEK doesn't care about the
=== signs. Most of the time what folks have following all those equal signs
is their .sig which I rarely miss :-)
