FTS-1026 recommends it to be a per-connection configurable option as I have shown here, which is implemented in Mystic.  It is not an option in BINKD and if it were, this would not be a problem for Paul.  Those are the facts.

Again, you're literally quoting a message that says Mystic can operate in either way, which is the FTS recommendation.  Grow up and stop being so disingenious all of the time.

 Ol> So you expect that binkd implement a feature that is not implemented in a

No, as I have said in messages prior: I don't care if BINKD implements it as an option or not.  But the only way for Paul's problem to be solved is for BINKD to implement the FTS recommendation on how to handle escaping.  I cannot help him.

Stop trying twist everything to create confusion, and just let it go.

 Ol> I would also recommend upgrading from the Mystic mailer to some FTS

As with every single thing you've said in this message, none of this is true.

The difference between BINKP 1.0/NR and BINKP 1.1 has nothing to do with performance.  It simply sends an extra round of EOB for handling file requests differently.

You're saying the \## was a typo and not used anywhere, which is absolutely false.  The FTS documentation on the subject specifically says mailers DO use that escaping.  In fact, older mailers either did no escaping at all or only use \##.

There are no FTS compliance issues with Mystic's echomail, and it probably transmits more FTN-style mail than any other software.  If there was an actual problem then speak up.  And Paul has worked with me enough to know if there was a problem I would fix it for him quickly, and he wouldn't have to go through this drama-filled daycare to get help.

It doesn't matter how many more years you go on trying to harass me and spew a bunch of misinformation about me or Mystic, reality will never agree with you.

I am sure everyone here is more than tired of this, so just move on.
