PE> YOU are the one compromising reliability by fucking

RS> Funny, could have SWORN that YOU proclaimed that it should be used.

I did not.  All I said was to use the latest version of PQWK.  If
there is ANY DOUBT AT ALL, LET ME STATE:

1. I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU USE PROPER POINT SOFTWARE.
2. IF YOU INSIST IN USING QWK, I SUGGEST YOU USE MKQWK ETC THAT
ARE USED IN PROPER BBS SOFTWARE.
3. PQWK IS A HEAP OF SHIT, BUT AT LEAST I CAN FIX BUGS IN IT, AND
THERE CURRENTLY ISN'T ANY THAT I KNOW OF.

PE> If you have a reason to want to look at control lines,

RS> Soorree robust and reliable software is about not just silently
RS> deleting everything that you proclaim to be 'out of spec'.
RS> That particular one wasnt even out of spec, YOUR spec.

RS> And even the MSGID isnt even a spec in the sense of an FTS ANYWAY.

FTS-9.  Like I said, don't fuck with things you know nothing 
about.

RS> And presumably even you have noticed that not all mail
RS> tossers used on Fido just silently bin packets which
RS> even have Origin lines which arent immaculately within spec.

That isn't this issue.

RS> Which is quite handy because otherwise they would have just silently
RS> binned the output of YOUR tosser when it flouted an FTS itself.

Like I say, I fixed the problems I was causing.  You chose to 
not give a shit whether you sent me out-of-spec mail.

PE> why don't you either use proper point software (ie not QWK readers who
PE> don't know to strip kludge lines) or use inspecta on the raw packets.

RS> Soorree, not into fascism. I'm into reliable mail.

Rod, I don't give a shit what you do, so long as you send me in-spec
messages.  I have told you how to do that.  In this particular case,
using PQWK, it is designed to emulate a BBS, as I used to run.  A BBS
won't send you kludge lines.  PKT2QWK will strip kludge lines out, so
it's just like a BBS.

If you choose to play silly buggers with the software, the result being
you sending me out-of-spec messages, the onus is squarely on you as
being malicious.  BFN.  Paul.
