ESP8266-12E MQTT PubSub Persistence

From what I gather persistence isnt available with the PubSubClient. But before I move on to another approach I wanted to check with anybody here if they had a PubSub persistent connection and how they achieved it.

Thanks all!

I hope you don't mind my sitting in on your thread. This subject has been lurking in my head while I work on my project, thought I'd have a look.

No problem at all Marine. For all interested - I'm also using the EMQTT broker. Tho that shouldnt have anything to do with this question/solution

bump?
