      Hi Paul,              On 2016-08-23 20:35:13, you wrote to me:               WV>> before I started working on my code, to see what kind of responses I        WV>> would get. From the 18 I send out I got 9 responses from 8 systems.               PQ> ^        PQ> The appropriate word is sent. I see this form often misused.              I probably write that all the time. Because in my mind (mint?;)) it sounds       like a 'd'. And you do write 'sending' not 'senting'... ;)               WV>> But maybe some are held up by the fact that Wards system has been        WV>> down again. We'll see when he gets online again...               PQ> Okay. Unless they get routed to the 'too hard bin', 'file 13', ermm...       the        PQ> bit bucket. ;)              Could also happen. I could repeat the test when Ward is back online... Well       maybe... ;)               WV>> I found your systems response a bit sparse compared to others,        WV>> although sufficient: It just quotes the Via lines, not the entire        WV>> message. And it said it was a TRACE response, when in fact it should        WV>> have been a PING response, because my message was directed at your        WV>> 3:640/384 system, which was also the one responding...               PQ> Oh, I didn't know there was a difference in expectation in the        PQ> specifications.               PQ> Ah, I've just re-read the proposal. I see what you mean. I'll quit using        PQ> my botched effort.              Isn't that a bit of an extreme response? ;)              It's better to get any response than no response.               PQ> Thanks for the heads up.              As you mentioned it was a prototype, I thought you could use the feedback to       fix things?                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-W32 1.71.3.200-B20160822        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)    |
