   I'm not sure exactly, I think it's an extention of QWK.

   I think that QWKE needs to be enabled when a QWK packet is created and that may   
    not be the case with BBBS but I haven't investigated.   
      
   A QWK packet that has QWKE enabled can have longer To:, From: and Subject:   
   lines and possibly other things as well, like the area names.   
      
   On the MultiMail website at sourceforge.net or wmcbrine.com/mmail there is   
   quite a bit of info about QWK/QWKE and other supported formats that can give   
   you a better idea than I can provide.
