well because you are creating another roadblock to users and they dont like
the hassle.  and it's just a bbs.  i think the sysop should worry about
security on their end but who cares as a user if their shit is going through
without encryption?  they're just going to play games or download files or
post msgs.

your from field contains an entire email?

i'm giving you a link to newslink.txt.  not sure if there's a newer version.
