   There is a nodelist flag that can be on an entry that requires that all mail   
   sent to the node from someone else in fidonet must be non-compressed.  I fly   
   that flag on my entry.  While I do allow compressed mail, it is for only nodes   
   that have made some arragements with me.....   
      
   And *officially* the only compression that is legal without prior negotiation   
   is a very old ARC standard.....  Yes, I could do that if I wanted to, but I   
   opt to say no compresses mail....   
      
   Take care,
