  • Pygate Version 1.5.18

    From Tommi Koivula@2:221/1 to Stephen Walsh on Sun Jul 19 09:55:28 2026

    Hi Stephen,

    I updated Pygate from 1.5.15 to 1.5.18 and noticed that it was not reading X-Comment-To anymore when doing news->ftn.

    My diff:

    tommi@mxo:/src/pygate/src$ diff gateway.py /src/pygate-vk3heg/src/gateway.py 806,807d805
    < ## TK ADD
    < x_comment_to = headers.get('x-comment-to', 'Unknown').strip() 827,829c825
    < ## TK CHANGE
    < ## 'to_name': area_config.get('default_to', 'All'),
    < 'to_name': x_comment_to,
    -+-

    'to_name': area_config.get('default_to', 'All'),


    'Tommi

    I reverted that change, so messages on the fido side are address to "All".
    I didn't like that they had "Unknown".

    The Fido/BBS way of messages to everyone having "ALL" looks better.

    But that was not my point. It is not reading X-Comment-to at all. If it doesnt exist, then the default could be "All".
