    Log Message:
    Don't add CP437 QWKnet tagline glyph when message is explicitly US-ASCII

    e.g. when message was posted via NNTP with:
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

    Assume the poster wants the message to remain US-ASCII, so let's not pollute the message with CP437 chars and invalidate the header and cause unnecessary downstream issues.

    Log Message:
    Strip MIME headers from messages when MIME over QWK is disabled (the default)

    Having the headers (in the HEADERS.DAT which gets imported into SMB message headers) but no MIME-encoded message body can confuse MIME-aware message readers (e.g. news/NNTP readers).

    Thanks to Accession for pointing out this (new) bug.

    Log Message:
    Remove "@address" part of QWK to-user for local mail in QWKnet node packets

    I think'll resolve the issue of QWKnet node accounts receiving email from gitlab@synchro.net (e.g. registration verification messages).

    Log Message:
    A more full fix for removing the @address from local mail for QWKnet nodes

    We needed to perform the truncation before the HEADERS.DAT file is created.

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/msgtoqwk.cpp
    Log Message:
    Fix the MIME header stripping for QWK, which never actually ran

    The strip added in 3f2b039ecd (manage-38-week, 2026-02-03) is gated on "getmsgtxt_mode == GETMSGTXT_PLAIN", but getmsgtxt_mode is seeded with GETMSGTXT_ALL (= GETMSGTXT_TAILS = 1) a few lines earlier, so the value
    tested is always GETMSGTXT_ALL | GETMSGTXT_PLAIN (9) and never
    GETMSGTXT_PLAIN (8) alone. The equality never held, so the MIME header
    fields were never stripped. Test the bit instead.

    Reported by ant on DOVE-Net Tech Talk, who diagnosed it correctly: every QWK/REP packet we hand out still carries "Content-Type:
    multipart/alternative; boundary=XXXX" in HEADERS.DAT while the body has
    been flattened to the decoded text/plain part with no boundaries in it
    at all. The receiving system stores that header as an RFC822HEADER field (qwktomsg.cpp) and republishes it over NNTP, so a MIME-aware newsreader correctly sees a multipart message with zero parts and shows nothing.
    His dates match the code: MIME decoding became the QWK default in
    0bc7b3297e (cleaning-19-wish, 2026-01-31), and the TLDR newsletter posts
    in Tech Talk went bad on 2026-02-02.

    This is the same bug Accession reported in February, which 3f2b039ecd
    was meant to fix.

    Verified against sub dove-tech msg #1013: before, HEADERS.DAT emitted
    both "MIME-Version: 1.0" and the multipart Content-Type while the
    exported body (11055 bytes) contained no "--Q8ymwWEC" boundary; after,
    both header fields are stripped.
