PE>> Why aren't you guys using PQWK215? RS> Coz I cant have the kludges I want visible, it aint got MSGIDs and RS> its another code and pray |-) PE> You never used to see any kludges when you were QWKing, why do you PE> expect them now? Coz the world has moved on. I dont operate on the basis of what I had before anyway, I just decide whats useful and whats not and try to have as much of the useful stuff as possible. PE> You don't have MSGID with your current version, so that is irrelevant. But it is a consideration when deciding if its worth using. Essentially with something were reliability is vital, you look at a new version and decide if its got anything worth having. If it hasnt, no point in changing from a version with no known problems to one which is untried. Thats what reliability is all about. PE> Since being a QWKer you never generate REPLYID anyway, MSGID is useless PE> for reply threading, which is what you tout it for all the time. Thats wrong too, someone replying to a message of mine can add a REPLYID if mine has a MSGID. I would like the REPLYID in my outgoings too, but thats harder. PE> As for code and pray, I actually did some rudimentary testing on it, PE> but there was still problems with it, which Brenton found, and I fixed PE> the problems that he reported, that's why there's 2 releases missing PE> that you never saw. Sure, and obviously others actually using 215 is testing too. And a good reason for me to see if they get fang marks on their bum before I use it myself. PE>> Brenton's been using it for half a week. RS> He never does any email so thats hardly much test. PE> The changes were basically all on the PKT2QWK side, so it's how many PE> messages he reads that counts. Who knows what he reads, I certainly dont. And thorough testing of a new version is also about testing ALL of its capability incase a quirk becomes visible in another part which wasnt deliberately being changed. --- PQWK202* Origin: afswlw rjfilepwq (3:711/934.2) SEEN-BY: 711/934 @PATH: 711/934 |
