I agree with many of the comments made so far on RFC924.  First, their
is a defacto standard for which there exists working software.  Second,
a single dash is a poor choice of separater since it is highly likely
that a) it will be used in message text by the user in such a way as to
be mistaken for a separator, and b) unbursting will not be universially
installed.  People who don't unburst will use "-" poorly and the
bursters will burst badly.

I like the stuff on handling bursted contents.
