First of all I want to thanks Eugene Crosser <crosser@average.org>, the author, for doing this all possible.

  • Tsuneo Tanaka <tt@efnet.com>, who has been the main contributor, with lots of useful ideas and code, taken from his JE version as well as posterior contributions.
  • Ken Lunde <lunde@adobe.com>, which has written the Japanese conversion code from which is the derived the Japanese code included here.
  • Thomas Quinot <operator@melchior.cuivre.fdn.fr>, for correcting a bug about a null pointer that I introduced (it was not visible with an a.out kernel, so I missed it for long time).
  • Jean-Louis Noel;, for fool-proofing improvements in tcpproto.c.
  • Wim Van Sebroeck <vsebro@medelec.uia.ac.be>, for the -DDONT_REGATE code and the "secure mode"-code for ifmail.
  • Krzysztof Halasa <khc@hq.pm.waw.pl>, for pointing me to the CHRS: values used in Poland.
  • Yar Tikhiy <yar@comp.chem.msu.su>, who sent to the mailing list a patch for SEEN-BY database building improvement and an ifpack.c patch.
  • Dmitry Kohmanyuk <dk@dog.farm.org> for the mxlookup code.

  • Urko Lusa <ulusa@frodo.com> for several comments on quoting 8bit characters from/to FTN packet headers (spanish use very often 8bit chars on their fido names...)

  • Luc Moreau for translating the manpages into french.
  • Michael Holzt <kju@so1.sauerland-online.de> for help implementing Gatebau stlye MSGID/Message-ID conversions
  • Pavel Pavlov for the info on Bulgarian charset mik-cyr and the translation tables koi8__mik, mik_koi8, mik__iso-8859-5, iso-8859-5__mik and correction of base64 code.
  • Erik Warmelink (2:282/1.60) for a nice rewritting of MACHIGAI code.
