I never said I wouldn't. I noted the request. Somewhere between a
magical mystical sexy fancy Linux version and support for
Squish/JAM/Synchronet/Wildcat/Whatever I'll add something for this. Possibly
just code for the editor to add whatever user-defined kludges defined.

You have to remember that a lot of Fido products were written during a time
when Echomail was really becoming popular and programmers could not
necessarily agree on what kludges to implement as standard. A lot of
software really implemented what was "required" and not proposals.
INTL and FMPT/TOPT come to mind... I'm sure theres others.
