    I guess you are already aware of that and just didn't have the time to improve the quoting. Are there workarounds? Like an external editor or is the quoting always done by the BBS?

    I am planning to have some kind of automatically added listings, fsx_dat. You will be able to advertise your BBS on fsx_dat and th choose to can import entries. That is still in the works though.

    sounds cool... I spent today (and am still doing so) hosting visiting family.. so not too much BBS time this weekend. Did some tidying up
    of the computer area today when I did have some spare time. Hoping to
    get back to my Linux box in the coming days.

    It's pretty much the same idea as Xqtr's xBBSList thing (the
    bbs_ping_project posts). Ideally I'd be able to import those posts as
    well, but I don't know how to decompress them. Not sure if it would work
    the other way, as my bbs list thing has much less info.

    Your Linux box? Is that what you're eventually planning to move agency
    over to?

    Have fun with the family :)

    Yeah, I'm aware of that. Quotes of quotes are missing characters.

    I've never seen quoting before like you suggested, but I've had a look at
    it and found this :

    I've reworked magicka to follow this standard. Hopefully it should work.

    Cool!

    I was convinced that is more common than it actually is. It depends a little bit on the echomail area and the software people are using there. In fsxnet it's more of an exception than the norm, in some Fidonet echomail areas it's very common. Anyway, I'm glad you reworked it, I find this style the easiest to
    read and it saves some space.

    I've not yet pushed it to master, as I need to test it here a bit more
    first, and make sure everyone is happy with the change.
