    Ol> Like it's always the same. It's never Mystic's problem, the others are   
    Ol> doing it wrong. (Why should the guru read the fucking manual? Why should   
    Ol> he ask for advice? He always knows better ...)   
      
   As usual you immediately showcase your childish behavior and complete   
   disregard for being a decent human, for no reason at all.   
      
   It doesn't matter how large of an emotional meltdown you have, its not going   
   to change how software actually works.  In Paul's case the failure was because   
   of the format of the escaped file name and that can be a problem with some   
   mailers when filenames are escaped the way BINKD does.   
      
   Yes, FTS did change it but they changed it *15 YEARS* after the other method   
   was already in the wild and implemented.  That change doesn't magically make   
   legacy software work differently.   
      
   I don't know what "advice" you think I should ask for.  The only way for   
   Paul's problem to be fixed would be if BINKD would escape as originally   
   intended or for those people to update to different software.  Older software   
   cannot be updated.  There is nothing *I* can do that would fix the problem he   
   saw.   
      
   In Mystic's case it handles either format correctly and it escapes as   
   originally intended by the creators of BINKP.  It does that because its the   
   only way that works with 100% of implementations we all tested against.  You   
   can disagree if you want to, but that has nothing to do with what Paul posted   
   here.   
      
   I could care less if BINKD changes it and its easily arguable that they   
   shouldn't change it.  But that doesn't change the way legacy software works no   
   matter how big of an emotional meltdown you have over it.   
      
   ... Confucius say: "Its stuffy inside fortune cookie"
