Hi, Richard.

I must be a quirk of the Wilcat! BBS software
from the nineteens. It's great it at least
works.

wildcat and other old school systems force uppercase on names and some even on subjects... it is a coding decision from long ago...

Not a quirk at all... a pain in the butt. You have to go into each individual message conference that's set up in Platnum Express and tell it not to convert message headers to Upper case.

I did this as it says in the printed book I got with PX many years ago that UPPER CASE headers are frowned upon in fidonet.

Also winserver has an option to set each conference as a "Fidonet Echo" but that's for features never implemented. So it's best to set it up as Regular Msg Base Public. If you set it up as a "Fidonet Echo" it breaks the REPLY kludge and it does not include it with the MSGID which is <cough> a FTSC No No.

Winserver (Wildcat 5-7) does not. It's the tosser that converts everything to uppercase and you have to turn it OFF on each individual conference on PX Config.

Viatoss when ready will abandon this archaic forced backasswards configuration. I'm not abandoning Wildcat just waiting for something better to hit the scene... unfortunately I'm becoming more endeared with the progress in Synchronet ... and the price is right.

there was no tosser with the wildcat i got on a 360k floppy... it forced the message header stuff to all caps... because of that and the lack of working doors capability, i refused to pay for it... i'm glad i did as the $50 i spent for RemoteAccess was one of the best investments i ever made... it had a lot more features and capabilities, too...

I think V4 was when they decided to stop forcing everything into upper caps.

RemoteAccess was quite nice and I also ran it on a few nodes as an alternative BBS. I catered to everyone at one time I had 3 lines RA 3 Lines PCBoard and 4 lines Wildcat for a total of 10. Then Winserver came out and all 10 lines went
Winserver.

To which Drew Klenotic replies...

Oh, I think that place has been thoroughly tested lately.
Consider it "getting through".

Ed Koon to Allen Prunty:

You have to go into each individual message
conference that's set up in Platnum Express and
tell it not to convert message headers to Upper
case.

There is an unchecked capatilize headers option
in mail processor / mail export options. Noth-
ing in the area settings.

Also winserver has an option to set each con-
ference as a "Fidonet Echo" but that's for fea-
tures never implemented. So it's best to set
it up as RegularMsg Base Public. If you set it
up as a "Fidonet Echo" it breaks the REPLY
kludge and it does not include it with the MS-
GID which is <cough> a FTSC No No.

I am running a pre Winserver version of Wildcat
5 with the internet connect pack.

Made that global change from Fidonet Echo to
Normal Mail Public and ran WcRepair on the
database.
[...]
After realizing that toggle hides the control
headers from Fido echomail body i reverted back
to "Fidonet Echo public / private" setting to
remove the control headers from the messages
body.

This is Wildcat 5 not Winserver so there may be
a difference in the two.
