I know Maximus will add a tear line (in fact, any FTN-enabled BBS 
software I've run will do that).  Squish will do it also if it find an 
echomail message without a tear line.

I think Maximus ensures this by adding a tear line even if the message 
has one.  MultiMail puts its own tearline in but Maximus will, on 
occasion, "invalidate" MM's tearline.  Not sure what the criterion is 
for that.
