[Xastir] "UP" on QUERIES

[F1MHV]

Hi Tom,

Now the Xastir’s queries process is clear. Therefore, could-it be (easily) possible to modify the messaging file code in order to introduce a rule that any manually entered message beginning with « ?… » would-be process without message-id ? The « dinosaur » aka uiview have such a rule. Taking example with HF APRS ops, sometime i can’t hear direct some digi/igates due to propagation skip but i know they are « on air », then sending manually a ?APRSD relayed by "in range" igates, when getting the answer i can make a picture of actual propagation status at this station, quite useful for HF ops.
