    Do these TLDR messages look like garbage to anyone else? I just get a wall of text.

    Looks OK at my end.

    If you're seeing something like the following, that means your message reader (and/or BBS software) doesn't support MIME:

    --HEQT47yB
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

    SpaceX may potentially merge with Tesla and xAI. Some investors are

    This too. I keep forgetting about MIME for some reason.

    Is there currently an option when modifying QWK setting on a hub to strip MIME?

    I honestly don't know, which is why I'm asking. I also don't need it, but if it would make things look better in Mystic (or other BBS software that may have QWK networking now), would that be doable as a feature request?

    No, but that's doable. Well, not stripping, but pulling out the plain-text part at least.

    This should be 'fixed' in QWK packets you can from vert/dove.synchro.net from this point forward. Please let me know you see (presumably on Mystic).
