After some recent UTF-8 test in the JAMNNTPD echo, Tommi had to disable soft
CR stripping in GEcho.

FMail has the option to remove those, but it's disabled by default. I think
that it only works for importing to the messagebase.

Synchronet's SBBS by default removes soft CRs, but it seems it does not apply
to UTF-8 messsages. I don't know if it's only when importing to its bases.

Don't know about others...
