not only ancient mailers but also older OSes... and this is exactly the reason for using the flag ;)

wrong... my ancient mailer reads and processes any flags, normal or user... some it can do things with automatically (eg: CM) while others have to be configured but flags are recognised as it does not try to maintain some internal list of valid flags like other software (and people) try to do...

AV> Once again: that abandonware is not IPv6 capable.
my mailer is not IPv4 capable but it talks to other mailers via IPv4 (FTN over telnet) quite readily... mailers do not need to support any specific transport format outside of FTN stuff... if they can talk to a FOSSIL driver, then they have an advantage in that they can communicate over most any transport format (eg: POTS, ISDN, TELNET, VMODEM, etc...)... the mailer only needs to be able to talk to the FOSSIL and let the FOSSIL speak the necessary format for the pipe...
