Mark,

I have no idea what this MultiMail Dos reader uses, I'd guess EDIT
since that is the editor I use in MM for writing messages.

I just tried to go to a Prompt but EDIT doesn't have that option
available.
I was wanting to see the MMAIL.RC files settings to see if there
were anything in it about the reader.

Oh!, I just thought about using Win Key R.  ......

Charset is CP437 so I still have no idea why I ain't seeing Tabs and
umlaut characters.

In March 2014 I will be celebrating 30 years of letting a PC abuse me.
