    You are using Synchronet.. :)

    The SBBS developers have extended QWK largely. I haven't used QWK as a user for
    eons so I'm not really up on the QWK user experience but for QWK networking SBBS nodes don't need to use QWKE for longer user names and subject lines. SBBS QWK nodes can also transfer netmail and files
    between nodes. It's really impressive how that works.

    I was not aware that sbbs supports this.

    It does. A lot of the QWK extentions like sending files to other nodes requires
    Synchronet on both sides since most QWK implementations will consider the added files extranious and silently delete them.
