  • charset kludge

    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.12 to All on Fri Feb 25 18:03:33 2022
    Hi,

    Is there a way to make BBBS render the (recommended) CHRS kludge, instead of CHARSET?

    I have wondered about that but I have no answer for your question.

    If you netmail Kim Heino at 2:222/2 or email b@bbbs.net he would have a better idea when or if that change can be made.

    I netmailed Kim and he replied fast! Next release will use CHRS.

    That is good news. I also netmailed Kim about this along with UTF-8 and CRAM-MD5 support. All are being added although some may take time to implement.

    I'll be watching the bbbs.net website for updates.. :)

    UTF-8? That's even better news!

    Yes, Toy-6 includes cram-md5 support and is working well for me. You could ask Kim about that.. :)
