   Hello STEVEN,   
      
   On Tuesday May 31 2011 13:00, you wrote to Joe Delahaye:   
      
    SR> To bad he did not build Telnet into Irex. Maybe (if he is working on a   
    SR> new version) he will add Telnet to it! .. Well we can hope ..   
      
   I have no need for telnet in a mailer. Binkp is vastly superior, so who needs   
   telnet if you have binkp?   
      
   Anyway, I would prefer to have the existing bugs and shortcomings fixed,   
   rather than having new whistles and bells.   
      
   Last week I was reminded of another annoying bug: Irex does not honour the   
   direct flag. When a node has been entered in de node manager, Irex will always   
   insist on sending a message direct. With or without the direct flag. There is   
   no way to route a message, when the destination node is in the node manager.   
   When he is temporarely down, you can not send its mail to his host or hub for   
   pickup. The only way is to remove that node from the node manager. Flagging it   
   as inactive won't do it, you  have to remove it completely. Annoying...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
