    "Never" ? As in, it's not a really here? or that it will always be here?


    Also, there's a mechanisim for creating actual polls, you know. You should use that.

    I don't want to sound pessimistic but I guess it's better to assume the worse rather than the best in this kind of thing, so I'd say atleast two years.

    I think you can still write a reply and write your response. The polls are a nice feature for those who read messages online on a Synchronet BBS.

    No, actually if you read from an OLR, you don't even see the poll
    messages, so you can't reply or vote.

    Not exactly sure why they don't show up in QWK packets, but they
    don't.

    hmm.. A few years ago, when the poll feature was first added to Synchronet and I hadn't updated my Synchronet yet, I remember seeing polls as regular messages. But perhaps Synchronet doesn't include poll messages for offline readers.

    It's configurable (whether or not to include them in QWK packets).

    It could, but no offline readers support voting (yet). It is optional though, the user can include them.

    You can reply (vote) when using the Synchronet built-in message reading support in the terminal server (or the 'V' command from the main menu of the default command shell), DigitalDistMsgReader (is that its called?), DigitalDistVotingBooth, and ecWebv4.

    I'm not particularly interested in the online options, it's not how I work. Looks like I'll have to wait until the author of Multimail adds voting support. :)
