   Log Message:   
   Make MIME-encoded messages in QWK packets "opt-in"   
      
   As pointed out by finglonger (SILENT) on DOVE-Net Tech Talk, non-Synchronet   
   systems (or even just older Synchronet systems) can't MIME-decode message   
   bodies, so they see some posts (like the TLDR newsletter posts in Tech Talk)   
   as "a wall of text". So Synchronet will now extract the plain text portion   
   of MIME-encoded messages and decode them fro QWK/REP packetes automatically,   
   unless the QWK user or QWKnet node has chosen to include MIME-encoded messages   
   in their packets.   
      
   Similarly, the QWKnet hub configured in SCFG->Networks->QWK->Hubs now includes   
   an option to enable MIME-encoded text. I also noticed that the word-wrap option   
   was missing from this menu, so now if your QWKnet hub is some older BBS   
   software that can't word-wrap message text on its own, set that option to "Yes"   
   (it defaults to "No").
