  • QWK bad packets?

    From poindexter FORTRAN@1:103/705 to All on Fri Mar 31 12:43:19 2023
    I noticed in my data folder that I have 5 files named VERT.qwk.nnnnnnnn.bad. They look like regular QWK packets when I open them in 7-zip, but I can't open them with a QWK reader.

    Is there any way to re-toss those messages to my BBS and see what comes of it?

    ...Am I any closer to finding what I'm looking for?

    Yeah, just rename to *.qwk and the BBS will attempt to re-import.
