+ ! The date shown in the message base header while reading messages should

+ ! Mystic was converting the passed hostname to all upper case.  This is no

+
+ ! Mystic was converting the passed MPL program (from command line) to all

+
+ + MIDE now has a mide.ini configuration file.  This file is in the .INI file

+
+ + MIDE now has a "Run" option which will compile and execute the current
+   MPL program without logging into Mystic itself.  You will need to set up
+   the options with mide.ini in order for this to work.  See the default
+   mide.ini for more information.
+
+ ! Posts made via QWK were not being counted in the BBS history.
+
+ + Mystic now supports QWK control posts.  This means that with modern QWK
+   readers you can add/drop message bases that are included in your packet
+   from within the offline reader.
+
+   If the reader does not support that feature, you can post a message in
+   your reader to "MYSTICQWK" with the subject of either "ADD" or "DROP" in
+   the message base in which you want to add or drop from your QWK packets.
+
+   Tested with MultiMail
+
+ + Mystic now supports the QWKE extension for offline mail.  What does this
+   mean?  Well it means first off that the 12 character message base name
+   limitation is completely gone.  Mystic will now generate the full base
+   name with MCI codes stripped in QWKE packets.  It also means that the
+   25 character limitation on From, To, and Subject fields is gone.
+
+   In addition, it opens up room for future enhancements such as offline
+   file requests, and the ability to maintain master file lists / new file
+   lists, as well as setting lastread pointers from within the offline
+   reader.  And file attachments, and and...
+
+   A new menu command (OE) has been added to download a QWKE packet.  When
+   uploading a .REP packet, Mystic can determine if the REP is QWK or QWKE
+   so there is no need for a new upload menu command.
+
+ + Given the new changes, Mystic now includes ALL message bases in QWK
+   packets regardless of if it is in the QWK scan settings.  Mystic will
+   NOT send any messages if you are not subscribed to the message base, but
+   it should still appear in the offline reader.  This is changed so that
+   users can add/drop message bases.
