I came across this when looking for another report and the OP's comment
SOME YEARS AGO is correct and as the reference document
{http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm} pronounces:
"It is very important to implement the <SUPPORT> tag in your MUD server.
This is the only way to determine what tags are really supported by the
client. The MXP version number isn't enough information to determine
this, and using <SUPPORT> is easier and better defined than trying to
decide based upon what MUD client is being used."
We don't currently support the <SUPPORT> tag and I note that the
<VERSION> tag is one place where the Mudlet version reported back has
not been set to the APP_VERSION #define which is currently 3.0.0 (for
the 3.0.0-delta preview) - it is still hard-coded to "2.0"

Title:
MXP: no <support> tag
Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In MXP it is required for the Client to respond to a <SUPPORT> query
from the server with a <SUPPORTS> response, listing the actively
supported tags.
A server would use this information to only display supported tags to
the client. You need to implement this, as you are not implementing
some other standard tags as of now (namely the text formatting stuff).
Unfortunately there is no standard way of naming the items in the
response, so for comparison ...
this is what Mushclient sends back:
Unterstuetzte Tags (MXP SUPPORT):
+c, +v, +u, +b, +p, +a, +h, +i, +br, +ol, +em, +li, +ul, +hr, +pre, +afk,
+mxp, +img, +var, +html, +head, +send, +user, +samp, +high, +font, +pass,
+bold, +body, +title, +color, +reset, +strong, +option, +c.fore, +italic,
+c.back, +a.href, +version, +mxp.off, +img.src, +support, +password,
+username, +xch_page, +a.xch_cmd, +send.hint, +font.back, +send.href,
+underline, +color.back, +color.fore, +a.xch_hint, +font.color,
+send.prompt, +font.bgcolor, +font.fgcolor, +img.xch_mode, +send.xch_cmd,
+send.xch_hint, +recommend_option
and this is what CMUD3 sends back:
Unterstuetzte Tags (MXP SUPPORT):
+dl, +sbr, +h, +color, +dest, +i, +user, +font, +var, +relocate, +br, +v,
+h4, +em, +bold, +u, +a, +h2, +h3, +style, +high, +nobr, +tt, +ul,
