QWK a mail standard ? Since when ? I'd like to see the info. 90 lines
is crazy. It should not be up to the world to fit into someone's broken
"standard". If people wish to come up with ways to read news and mail offline
they should at least make sure that they can work with things as they have
existed for years. We are stepping forward with transmitting larger and
larger messages. Multimedia integration into Netnews is underway. We
should not step back 15 years to accomodate broken software.
Welcome to 1994, not 1980. Tell this person that it is too bad they have
limited themselves by choosing this method of interfacing with the net.
There is no requirement that forces this choice on them. There are other
ways to do what they are trying to do that do not impose such restrictive
limitations on their capabilities. If they choose to continue to limit
themselves, they are truly missing out on the real power of the net and
that is their decision. We are sorry but we are not changing our faqs
to assure that their broken software "standard" is not fixed.
