I guess it's the DOS heritage of BBSing. Multimail and other QWK readers
will wrap your text up with CRLF at the end of lines and I think MBSE does
that with messages saved on the BBS also.

CRLF has been a PITA since day one. It makes messages harder to format on a
screen that is a different size than what it was saved on. It was great to
format messages for an 80x25 screen when everyone was using that but not
everyone uses that today.

I'm looking at these messages inside of .pkt files. These lines start with a
CRLF, it's completely out of place there.

 Ttyl :-),
