   That explains why when James tested against BinkD it had no issues with him    
   using \##.   
      
   The most compatible way to do things is to accept both on incoming, while    
   sending using \x##, unless configured otherwise on a per node basis, or when    
   you detect you are connected to a known mailer that uses \## (Argus or IRex.)
