   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2024-03-29 18:32:00, you wrote to me:   
      
    WvV>> And the discussion to get my terminals right for golded, continued   
    WvV>> until yesterday! ;-) But I now seem to have it as good as it can   
    WvV>> get.   
      
    NB> I've been keeping up. Glad you were able to get it all sorted!   
      
    NB> You're still way luckier than most, if you have been able to use Golded   
   for   
    NB> all those years without having to use translation tables. I thought   
   something   
    NB> was weird when you told me that. :)   
      
   Most text in fido messages is just ascii. So if you're not bothered by the   
   occasional weird character, your fine! ;-)   
      
    WvV>> So you need code around it for compatibility to use the old or new   
    WvV>> field. But I don't find this a very important new feature.   
      
    NB> Not a new feature, really. Just fixing an old one.   
      
   Does something that has been working like this for 30 years, without   
   complaints, really needs fixing?   
      
    WvV>> The tearline is mostly used for version info of the generating   
    WvV>> software, and fmail already handles that very well.   
      
    NB> Some generating software uses much more space than FMail does when it   
   comes to   
    NB> the tearline. What if one wants to put FMail's information in the TID   
   kludge,   
    NB> instead, so the tearline can be used for the editor information?   
      
   FMail can be configured to just use the TID, so your editor can do what it   
   wants with the tearline.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
