    de> Are you saying that Mystic's binkp will send a file to a node using an   
    de> escape sequence of \## or \x## depending on how the sysop has configured   
    de> that node in Mystic configuration?   
      
   Yes.   
      
   For incoming filenames Mystic handles all variations.   
      
   For outbound filenames it uses \## (because any mailer that does \x## will   
   also accept \##, but mailers that accept \## wont accept \x##). Its the most   
   compatible method.  This is how it worked up to A47.   
      
   Then in A48 I went further and added in the option in the node configuration   
   so you can choose per-connection just in case there someday is a newer mailer   
   in the future that does \x## but can't do \##...   
      
   This A48 addition was as a result of the recommendation that was pointed out   
   to me in FTS-1026.001: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-1026.001   
      
   "In FSP-1011.003 the escape method is specified as two hexadecimal digits   
   preceded with a backslash (e.g. a whitespace is transmitted as "\20").  Some   
   mailers have implemented that method. It is advised to have a setting for   
   specific nodes to sent escaped characters using the incorrect method."   
      
   Mystic implements the recommendation made in the last sentence but BINKD does   
   not as far as I know?  So the solution to Paul's problem is to have BINKD   
   follow the FTS recommendation, or for the person to upgrade their software   
   version. I can't help him.
