I noticed that way back in the 1990's and brought it up back        MK> then. However for a single user application such as what I am doing this        MK> is not an issue. Basically all I've done is to write an offline        MK> application using a slightly modified FTN MSG format that generates it's        MK> own MSGID so that when tossed by a regular automated tosser such as hpt        MK> (not abandonware ... yet) there shouldn't be an issue with dupes since        MK> there are none. Right?              Unless your application can crosspost a single written message to multiple       other areas? They all need different MSGID's...               MK>>> ... A Møøse once bit my sister ...               WvV>> Illegal characters without a CHRS: kludge!               MK> Again it appears to be working without a useless CHRS kludge, especially       in        MK> the case of UTF-8 as the above quote clearly demonstrates. Also with       older        MK> 16-bit DOS editors quoting UTF-8 characters works 100% which cannot be       said        MK> about most (all?) FTN compliant editors.              If I were using a message editor that could and was configured to display       different charactersets. It wouldn't know how to display this one, because of       the missing CHRS kludge.                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 452 664 1016 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/110 206 317 400 280/464 5003 288/100 292/8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 770/1       PATH: 280/464 229/101 426           |
