the message creation system can add tear lines... that
would be the editor or maybe the BBS software after the
message is created and imported into the message base when
the user leaves the editor after saving the message...

I know Maximus will add a tear line (in fact, any FTN-enabled BBS
software I've run will do that). Squish will do it also if it find an echomail message without a tear line.

any software, from the editor back to the tosser can add
tear and origin lines... the key is if one already exists,
it should not be messed with... but operators have control
over their systems and if they want to change these lines,
they can up to the point of the messages being packed into
pkts for delivery to other systems...

I think Maximus ensures this by adding a tear line even if the message
has one. MultiMail puts its own tearline in but Maximus will, on
occasion, "invalidate" MM's tearline. Not sure what the criterion is
for that.
