Special Menu "UNIX to Mac Text..."
UNIX text, while similar to Mac text, is slightly different. It uses "line feed" control
characters where the Mac uses "carriage returns."
If you have ever viewed text that you downloaded off the Internet with a plain text
editor, you probably saw what appeared to be the entire message on one line,
interspersed with some small rectangles. Those rectangles are the line feeds that
would have signaled a UNIX computer to begin a new line. The "UNIX to Mac Text" item
will do the necessary conversion for you.
Note: If you are performing a "Decode - No Frills," you may have to do this conversion first
to allow you to edit out the article headers.
