   I don't want to get too far off topic here so I will end with this and show   
   what I ended up doing on the Mystic side to clarify for everyone here...   
      
   I agree with you about additional noise and misconfiguration - we seem to   
   share a similar opinion on bloated configurations!  But since I already had it   
   as an option, I went back and added an "Auto" option based on your suggestion.   
      
   Auto will be the default moving forward.  If you have any suggestions or   
   feedback on this shoot me a netmail or in MYSTIC echo or something.  I don't   
   want to clutter up BINKD with Mystic stuff...   
      
   If BINKD wants to add something similar to help support legacy mailers then   
   great, if not then so be it! :)   
      
    + Mystic's BINKP server now has a default "Escape mode" option which will   
      apply to any unknown connections that do not have a configuration in the   
      Echomail nodes.  Echomail nodes also have their own individual setting   
   for    this in the node editor.   
      
      This setting determines how Mystic will escape special characters in   
      filenames and defaults to the Auto setting.   
      
      When set to Auto, Mystic will automatically try to determine the escape   
      mode by using the VERSION frame sent by the mailer.  If no version frame   
      is found, Mystic will use FTS standard modern \x## escape mode.   
      
      When set to Legacy, Mystic will use the \## format of file escaping which   
      is used in some legacy mailers such as Argus, Internet Rex, and older   
      versions of Mystic.   
      
      When set to Modern, Mystic will use the \x## format which is preferred or   
      even required by some newer mailers such as BinkD, Radius, and BinkIT.   
      
   ... Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
