Sholto, Simon and all, >confirmation email from a distant land. For information, in the last Multipsk version, I proposed this feature (confirmation email) for almost all digital modes (including CW), through a specific sting of characters using a particular protocol (using CRC). The code (Pascal) of formation of the string of characters is public, so...
