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.
