Because it causes the text with the call sign to jump at the
recipient's screen just when they are trying to click on it. That is
why many people recommend no newline at the end of sending call signs
or at the end of an exchange.
I'd added an option in cocoaModem to ignore all newlines altogether
(mapping them into spaces on the screen) to get around the problem
with people sending newlines at inopportune moments.
