   Hey mark!   
      
    ml> standard FTN binary MSG format or something else?   
      
   Absolutely zero binary.  It does use null delimeters though, currently five ->   
   DateTime\0, To\0, From\0, subject\0 and msg_body\0.  I was thinking of   
   splitting the tagline, tearline and Origin off into a sixth field and calling   
   until the node ships it upstream and then and *only* then does the annoying,   
   unneeded, binary crap leakage into the mix.  :::shudder:::   
      
   Also all that gets stripped off and sent to the bitbucket when unpacking.    
   Along with most of the hidden info in the msg_body\0 it is complete, utter   
   garbage.  No?   
      
   Way back in the old days one could find themselves in the woodshed for bad   
   behavior such as putting binary data into headers ... not to mention   
   compression.  I miss those days.   
      
   Life is good,
