Then write a proposal and        WvV>> convince software developers to implement it in their        WvV>> software.               AA> So, are kludges like the wild wild west where anything goes?              You can create new ones, and that still happens. (Like the @COLS: kludge       recently added in synchronet)               AA> That *is* a handy way to extend functionality and features.              Indeed.              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 114/705 120/340 123/120 131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0 226/17 30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 700 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 250/5 8 267/800 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 298/25 301/1 305/3 310/31 317/3 322/757 340/1000 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 100 330 340 772/210       SEEN-BY: 772/220 230       PATH: 280/464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
