    Log Message:
    Add option to strip so-called "Soft CRs" (0x8D) from incoming messages.
    The default is off (no stripping). Previously, Soft-CRs were always stripped, but this behavior is now seen as an anachronism as CP437 char 141 is an important non-English laguage character and used as such in FidoNet msgs.

    Add option to strip so-called "Soft CRs" (0x8D) from incoming messages.

    it took me a minute to find this new option... i was looking for it in the Global Settings section instead of the Echomail Settings section... does it also apply to netmail? if not, it kinda really should ;)

    thanks for adding it, too! :)



    PS: i'm sorry for your loss... i just found out earlier yesterday... i'm still dealing with mine from august and i know it can be painful for a while :/

    it took me a minute to find this new option... i was looking for it in the Global Settings section instead of the Echomail Settings section... does it also apply to netmail? if not, it kinda really should ;)

    As the online help says:

    Strip Soft CRs from Incoming Messages when set to Yes instructs
    SBBSecho to remove any so-called "Soft" Carriage Return (ASCII 141)
    characters from the text of imported EchoMail and NetMail messages.
    This setting defaults to No.

    ... it does also apply to NetMail. I'll probably move it to the global section since it really isn't EchoMail-specific.

    thanks for adding it, too! :)

    Sure. At first I was just going to remove the Soft-CR stripping, but thought I'd leave an option just in case someone really needs the old behavior.

    Thanks. It's been ordeal for sure.

    ummhummm... i read that and still wasn't sure so better to ask and find out than to assume and... well :lol:

    that would be cool...

    understandable...

    echocfg.c rechocfg.c sbbsecho.c sbbsecho.h
    Log Message:
    SBBSecho should be able to run withOUT an area file (areas.bbs file).
    This requires that the AutoAddSubs=true in sbbsecho.ini (the default) and if you don't want an area file created/updated with new subs, just set new option AutoAddToAreaFile=false.
    Both of these options default to true which is the same as the previous behavior: if you have a link that configured to hub for a msg group, any subs not already in the area list/file will be considered new and added dynamically. So what's new here is that you can set SBBSecho not to create or update an
    area file and SBBSecho will run just fine if no area file exists or contains no area definitions.
    Incremented version to 3.09.

    Log Message:
    Added support for auto-detection of incoming UTF-8 messages (default: enabled). If an incoming message contains no CHRS/CHARSET control line *and* the message text contains valid UTF-8 character encodings, set the FTN charset value to UTF-8 so the message will be displayed/handled accordingly.
    I did not add checks for header fields (to/from/subject) - we should probably auto-detect UTF-8 in those as well, but for now, I don't see messages coming into FidoNet echoes with UTF-8 in the header fields.
    Incremented SBBSecho/EchoCfg version to 3.10.

    Log Message:
    Add option to control whether area-linked nodes must be configured

    This should address issue # 261.
    Before April 19, 2016, area-linked nodes were required to be listed as nodes in sbbsecho.ini:
    http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/sbbs3/sbbsecho.c?revision=3.6&view=markup
    I'm not sure why the change was made to only require that there be a wildmatch for each area-linked node. So just make it a configuration option. <shrug>

    Also removed the trailing "..." for every top level menu item in echocfg.

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/echocfg.c rechocfg.c sbbsecho.c sbbsecho.h
    Log Message:
    By default SBBSecho will now include the 'reason' in bad packet filenames

    When bad packets are detected and renamed to ".bad" files, include the reason in the new filename (e.g. "ff69453a.src-addr.bad" or "ff69453a.pkt-passwd.bad" instead of just "ff69453a.bad") to make it easier for a sysop to determine
    what to do with the bad packets without having to search through log files
    to discover the reason *why* SBBSecho considered the packet to be bad.
    This behavior can be disabled if desired by setting EchoCfg->Global->Verbose Bad Packet Names to "No". Note: the reason used is the *last* reason detected/logged for a packet to be considered bad; it's possible that there
    are multiple reasons that a packet may be considered bad. All reasons will be logged, but only the last reason is used in the new bad packet filename.

    Also added the missing "Delete Packets" option (to EchoCfg->Global). Though this setting was added in sbbsecho v3.0 (and settable via sbbsecho.ini), it
    was never exposed via EchoCfg; I don't think that was intentional. Normally, you'd always want to leave this set to Yes (the default) to delete processed packets, but when debugging, it may be desirable to leave the packet files
    in place. This what the old sbbbsecho v2 '-x' command-line option used to be used for (disable the deleting of processed packets).

    Moved the Global Settings, EchoMail Settings, and File Paths config menus to the upper left of the screen in EchoCfg. The placement seemed inconsistent
    and erratic, so this is a bit of a cosmetic improvement.

    Log Message:
    Add option to delete bad incoming packets (not rename them)

    So a sysop now has 3 choices for SBBSecho's handling of incoming bad packets:
    - delete them
    - rename them *.bad
    - rename them *.reason.bad (the default)

    If SBBSecho is configured to rename bad packets, but the rename fails, the error is logged (as before) but the packet is not deleted (this is a change from previous behavior).

    Always log the *reason* a pkt was determined bad in the "Bad packet detected" log message.

    Log Message:
    Allow default packet type to be configurable

    Previously, any packets created for unlinked nodes, would always be Type-2 packets and the packet type for newly created nodes (in echocfg->Linked Nodes) would be Type-2+.

    The new DefaultPacketType setting default is 2+, so the only observed
    change in behavior will be that packets created for unlinked nodes will also
    be type 2+ (by default).

    Some additional log detail/adjustment around created/detected packet types.
