[Xastir] Feature? Or am I just lazy...

As I understand, you're asking for the first part of this patch:

The second part is nothing more than a bug on our part. Also the 
ST_MSGCAP flag isn't set on weather stations because that are called 
APRS_WX1 by decode_info_field, this might be a bug or feature, hard to day.

As for the first part (disable the send button on such stations), I'm 
not sure we want to go that route. I'd be more comfortable wasting 
bandwidth than having my software unable to communicate with a 
misconfigured station.
