The HIPPA 4010 Segment Formatter filter is used to strip off or add carriage return (0D) and line feed (0A) characters at the ends of segments in a HIPAA message. Adding the characters makes for easier segment identification by a human, for example if the user opens the message file in a text editor. But carriage returns and line feeds often need to be stripped off before the message is processed by other HIPAA filters.
