I thought about adding a button that would allow looser matches, but
then we could end up getting an ack from one of our QSO's that
matched a different QSO, if the sequence-ID just happened to match.
That'd get very strange in a hurry.
How about this:
If we're sending to EMAIL only, match on "EMAIL plus ACK" or "WU2Z
plus ACK". I kind of hate to put in a specific callsign for the
EMAIL match, but I can't think of a better way to do it.
Comments?
