Hey Wilfred!

MK>> It has been tested at this end.

WvV> But not outside your system?

I currently have three, two of which are known to fidonet.  I haven't tested between 1:153/7001 and 2:280/464.113 but could easily do so if push comes to shove.  The third I have a point setup to 1:153/7001 and that is where the good stuff is.  I've posted from there to fidonet via 1:153/7001 more than a few times lately and between the two they have no issues with playing with headers and the such.  As for 2:280/464.113, it is currently setup to compensate for those believing that kludges actually do something.  :::snicker:::

Works like a charm despite the current DateTime stamp.  None of the three actually use that for anything.  It is just filler to compensate for a braindead standard.  Isn't everything?

WvV> A pure ascii message, that indeed doesn't need a CHRS: kludge

Neither does utf-8 but I understand the limitations an editor like golded has especially when it comes to utf-8 and fidonet.  Pure idiocy if you ask me.  Mind you one of the 'problems' with vim is that it allows you to be totally stupid no matter what language you post in ... kludge or no kludge.  :-/

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
