I used to use binkd, too plain, lol.  It ran smoothly though.  Is there anything you recommend?

It would be nice to have as I really do not want to use Hudson.  But Hudson works.  I guess for netmail it would not matter.  ;)

I guess **.msg is not needed as most would use it for netmail anyway.  Squish would only be nice for people that use it with ProBoard, but everyone so far uses Hudson or JAM.

I'll test it out very soon.  ;)  I need to see if it replaces only changes or everything.
