    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.99 to All on Sat Feb 14 20:04:44 2026
    Hi,

    I recently made some more updates to my fork of JamNNTPd...

    Version 1.4-c (beta)

    - New 'def_squote' setting (user parameter 'squote'):
    Default setting for reformatting quoted text to Fidonet style.
    (smartquote must not be enabled)

    - New 'note' config setting:
    Insert NOTE kludge with X-Newsreader/User-Agent string

    - New 'def_addcr' setting (user parameter 'addcr'):
    Default setting for adding a CR (empty line) at end of message text

    - New 'loggroups' setting:
    Write groups selected by users to the logfile

    Source code: https://github.com/cnb/jamnntpd
    Win32 binaries: https://www.cyberiada.org/fido/files/jamnntpd/

    What is the difference of these two? Only to allow it defined per user?

    Oh. ;)

    Wrong!

    - New 'def_squote' setting (user parameter 'squote'):
    Default setting for reformatting quoted text to Fidonet style.
    (smartquote must not be enabled)

    user?

    Yes. The way it is implemented, you can set it up as follows:

    1. No parameters/settings (equivalent to -def_squote off)
    Quoted text is not reformatted to Fido-style, unless the user logs with /squote=on

    2. -def_quote on
    Quoted text is reformatted, unless the user logs with /squote=off

    3. -smartquote (-def_quote is ignored)
    Quoted text is always reformatted, and the user cannot change that.

    (An alternative way to implement this could be to create a setting like -allowsquote, to allow the user to log in with the squote option.)

    .... This is intended to be a tagline.

    Oh. ;)

    That was a demo of addcr=on ;-)

    BTW, an extra dot was inserted there. :-|

    Typo -- I meant -def_squote (with 's')

    It's not even designed to do that, so you get to keep the broken bits!

    But PyGate is designed to post messages to NNTP server. It should take into consideration the special case of a dot as a first character.

    It's not a big deal. We can keep the broken bits. ;)

    You can also see rfc3977 if you wish.

    It's doing what I want it to do, but in what context is the . a first character?

    Not without knowing what dot has to do with the broken bits!

    Did she find them broken, or did she break them? %-;
