• FidoMail Mobile 0.1.8+89 - reply charsets, PING Via lines

    From Dmitry Protasoff@2:5001/100 to All on Thursday, September 17, 2026 22:27:19
    Hello All!

    What is new in FidoMail Mobile 0.1.8+89:

    Charsets:

    - Replies now use the original message's charset, as long as it can
    represent every character you typed. A reply to a LATIN-1 post in a
    CP866 echo goes out in LATIN-1, a reply to a KOI8-R post in KOI8-R,
    and a reply to a UTF-8 post in UTF-8. If that charset lacks the
    characters you need (say, Cyrillic in reply to a CP437 post), the
    app uses the echo's charset, as before. The composer shows a note
    below the message header when this happens. On by default; turn it
    off under Settings -> "Reply in the original message's charset".
    - Netmail follows the same rule. Mail received in UTF-8 gets a UTF-8
    reply. The "Send in UTF-8" box is already ticked; you can still
    untick it. Mail received in an 8-bit charset gets a reply in that
    charset, or plain ASCII if the whole reply is 7-bit.
    - Only the sender's declared charset counts. If the original has no
    CHRS kludge, the reply uses your echo's charset, regardless of
    which charset the app used to decode it.

    PING:

    - PING replies now have their own Via lines (FTS-4009). The arrival
    line goes at the end of the quoted Via chain in the message text;
    the departure line goes in the reply as a kludge. Both carry your
    point address and a UTC timestamp. The reply is saved in Sent.

    Mail exchange:

    - Netmail routed through MBSE had an extra blank line above the
    text for every kludge. mbfido ends lines with LF CR; the app now
    treats adjacent CR and LF, in either order, as a single line break.
