I noticed you use MultiMail. Why do you prefer it over logging in to
your BBS to read messages?
I'm not him, but will jump in for my $0.02 worth.
I use it because I like that I can define my editor of choice to use
when writing replies (I use 'nano' on Linux). Also it shows me any new
files that have arrived since last packet. Also makes it easy to stop
if needed and return later to finish reading/writing.
I've used multimail with other BBS mail but not my own.
Have you used readers on Linux? Anything besides MultiMail.
I don't know of any decent Linux alternatives. Long ago I used 'SLMR'
with a DOS emulator, but it was a little awkward, and I greatly prefer
the functionality of MultiMail.
I know your using it on Win; but I use Linux for my BBS and daily stuff unless I'm on work computer which is MacOs.
Same here.
Anybody else have comments/recommendations in using MultiMail?
Yes, see above. ;-) I highly recommend it.
... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
