The main concern was about adding a "newline" (as writelog calls it)
after your exchange. This can require the other op to chase the
exchange. A "newline" at the beginning of the xmsn doesn't cause any
problems, and, in the case of skimmer, might help solve some.
All of my macros start with "newline" followed by a space. They all end
with a space.

The last time I rewrote my collection of RTTY contest macros (about a year
ago?), I thought that the consensus on best practice was to use CRLF's
sparingly, only at the start of a CQ, in order to be efficient and to guard
against runaway scrolling for those folks whose interfaces don't guard against
that phenomenon.
Did I misunderstand...or perhaps best practice has evolved due to skimmers?
