Hey

Just a heads up, if you're polling dove net (or any other synchronet
style qwk network) I recommened turning the option for HEADERS.DAT on.

Log in to vert with your qwk id, and change packet configuration, then
locate the option to include HEADERS.DAT to ON

It won't hurt if you're on an old version of QWKIE, and new versions will
support some of the features in HEADERS.DAT, some that make things nicer
for Synchronet sysops receiving mail from talisman bbses, and some things
needed for Avatars.

Regarding Avatars, I'm undecided if I should include it in the git
repository. Originally it was my plan to release it as a Talisman "MOD",
and those who want the feature can go get it.

The thinking behind the MOD idea, was if there were other avatar
implementations, like alpha's old one, a sysop could choose the one he
wanted, and I don't want my mods to have advantages over other peoples
mods, like an "official" status by coming with git.

Perhaps that thinking is silly, and I should just include all mods with
talisman, (I think synchronet sort of does that) but it would be nice to
one day have talisman mod releases like mystic does, from their
respective authors.

Anyway, I might wait a few days before releasing v0.32, and the avatar
mod, as I want to test things a bit more first.
