Do you need to use QWKE?ããThis question doesn't make too much sense to me, but I'll try... The REP ãpacket contains your *REPLIES* to messages that you've read. If you ãread a packet of messages but don't make any replies, there won't be a ãREP generated.ããThe QWKE format really has nothing to do with REP packets, per se. It's ãa specification that includes additional headers/info/kludges in the ãpackets exchanged between the user and the BBS.ãããã... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.ã=== MultiMail/Linux v0.52ã--- SBBSecho 3.20-Linuxã * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (1:135/115)ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

So downloading messages automatically marks them as read?ãã-----------------------------------ãuser is generated from /dev/urandomãã--- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Linux/64)ã * Origin: The Bottomless Abyss BBS * bbs.bottomlessabyss.netã

Doã> you need to use QWKE?ããNo, REP packets only contain responses from you, including messages andãrequested to add/drop areas (and maybe others?). REP packets do notãinclude the messages you only read and don't respond to.ããã * SLMR 2.1a * Excuse me - but HOW do you spell EMT ????ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã
