    We're excited to announce that BinktermPHP 2.0 will ship with an integrated AI echomail assistant.

    I can tell you right now that is going to anger people. I'd be cautious in rolling that out. There is some AI posting information in GOLDED that is completely wrong.

    As co-moderstor of this echo: your system is using the incorrect codepage for posting in Fidonet; it should be CP437. I see garbage in your subject line from your previous message.

    I noticed that in the responses. I'm making a change in the 1.9.0 release to default to CP437 with per-network overrides. That strikes the right balance IMHO.

    Thanks!
