QWK is lossy... especially with FTN messages... there is a lot of information lost when FTN messages are packed via QWK... it should be noted that QWK was shoehorned into FTN... it originates on a completely different network and has much different principles... QWK works for end users solely because it transfers the message body which is 99% of what they care about... QWK links messages by subject line which we all know is a fallacy and quite wrong in many cases... there are better ways to properly link message threads no matter what the subject lines are... )\/(ark --- SBBSecho 3.11-Linux * Origin: SouthEast Star Mail HUB - SESTAR (1:3634/12) .
