Refresh me, does Mudlet enable GMCP BEFORE it has sent out a "DO" "GMCP" - from what I recall of these things the starting state should be for everything to be disabled until it has been negotiated as per RFC 1143. What you are describing sounds as though Mudlet is NOT complient... 8-(

Fair enough. When the server says it doesn't doesn't support GMCP, Mudlet immediately responds by asking to enable GMCP. A polite client would take a hint at the first rejection and respond IAC WONT GMCP -- agreeing with the server not to use it. A naively implemented server will respond to each request, resulting in an infinite loop of messages back and forth. That's just unkind. A well implemented server will have to take into account poorly implemented clients and reserve in memory a series of flags telling it that it's already negotiated for this option and not to do it again, expending on-machine resources to save bandwidth chatting to a client that won't take a bloody hint.
