 +If you are using an older version of Synchronet (or some other BBS software), you may want to exclude (set to "No") the ''VOTING.DAT'' and ''HEADERS.DAT'' files. Support for the ''VOTING.DAT'' file was added in Synchronet v3.17a (November, 2016). If your BBS sends a REP packet to VERT which includes either of these files (at any time), the respective QWK setting will be automatically turned back on for your QWKnet account. 
 + 
 +If your BBS software supports ''HEADERS.DAT'' (e.g. Synchronet v3.15 and later), then you do not need to include the QWK "kludges" for Time Zone (@TZ), Message Path (@VIA), and Message/Reply IDs (@MSGID and @REPLY). The ''HEADERS.DAT'' also makes the QWKE extensions unnecessary for QWK networking purposes. 
 + 
 +If your BBS software does not support [[custom:Ctrl-A codes]], then you'll want to set "Ctrl-A Color Codes" to either ''Strip'' or ''Expand to ANSI''.
