subject: BBS Mail through email client?

 TK> Is there a way to setup your email client to fetch your BBS mail?

that depends on the BBS software... it is likely also limited to only
private mail... private mail being FTN netmail which is similar to internet
email...

FTN echomail is similar to internet news... some email clients also
function as news clients... some BBS systems offer their echomail areas in
a news format... the most common "problem" is that a BBS
maintains the last read pointers of its users... news cannot do that as
there is no facillity to pass that information from the client back to the
server for storage... news clients maintain their own last read pointers...
