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.
