sempoint does BW packets??

based on your description and the fact that BW originates from the DOS world,
i'd say that CRLF EOL pairs are required... what you are seeing could be the
result of whatever editor the user is using with their sempoint 
nstallation... if they can, they should force their editor to use CRLF pairs
when editing sempoint messages

aside from that, here's a link to the BW structures but they don't say
anything about the line endings used...
