Well, its more accurate to say that the original QWK format didnt
allow for it. But quite a few have added that capability anyway.

The same thing applys to netmail, it was kludged on after too,
with the usual result when thats done, a variety of QWK readers
and doors did it in a variety of different ways.

BL> I can do it in rep2pkt easily enough, setting the PKT attribute,

Even thats not standard at all, its just one way of doing netmail. Its
not even the most common way, just the most common on the Maximus style
QWK doors. The RA and PCBoard QWK doors do it differently in detail.

BL> No worry... I'll just put in a "Freq:" or
"Attach:" line for my own use.

I dunno if any that do support it do it like that, doubt it.

BL> I'm a bit nervous to use rep2pkt until I've got pkt2qwk working

True and the other problem with REP2PKT is that quite a few possible
problems are undetectable by you.
