such testing would be very helpful.
It would be a small project of its own.

Note that there is a test specifaction for sphinx
by the bsi. Of course it refers to the sphinx project
and ... it is in German :-(

What would help a lot would be an overview on
which MUA (which version) interoperates correctly with
the others for each protocol.

It would mean quite some work (some fun too) to do
the testing and/or to moderate the webpage.

Anyone out there?

Cheers

	Jan
