Bad edit.  I was typing the mail in real time, waited a couple minutes, got
the email but no ack and typed "never saw an ACK"... and then the ack came.
I didn't edit out the commentary.

It was all good, the ack was just slow in making it all the way to me, as acks
are wont to be.

No, not a typo.  That junk was there.  My guess is that W5MPZ is wonky.

Looks that way.  The WHO-IS, AE5PL-EM, and regular messaging all seems to be
working on the xastir end.  I also saw that my new xastir build acked properly
when K5MTN answered my messages.
