I think that was more a function of the Blue Wave door. Nowthat we have BW 
readers trying to tell QWK doors to toggle echos, the previously stripped 
messages just get posted. Whether youcould tag files or not is not in my memory

understand, thedate is the only thing keeping the door and the reader from 
working properly in this melinium. <shrug>
