That explains why the original subject line got cut off a bit!  LOL
Can you implement something that supports QWKE packets? QWKE is supposed to fix 
the problem of the 25-char limit in QWK.

Do you use the BW format packets in Bluewave or do you use the fall-back QWK 
format?

Durango is supposed to support QWK/QWKE. I've seen one user flying the 
following tag at the end of their messages:

Durango is supposed to operate more like a database and allows you to combine 
the contents of previous QWK packets all together too.
