Hello everybody.

        I am a fan of offline readers. Although MultiMail is a fantastic
reader and works very well, every now and then I like to experiment with
old offline reader programs.

        Very well, one of the few that still ran at my Windows XP machine
was one called OFFLINE, version 1.58, from former Fidonet sysop Harvey
Parisien.

        I tested it with two QWK packages: One from my Mystic board,
configured to use regular QWK packages (not QWKE), and another one from a
dialup-only system we have in Argentina that runs RemoteAccess 2.02 and
JC-QWK, for good old times' sake.

        Funny enough was that OFFLINE was able to read the packet from the
Argentinean system without issues, but the packet from my Mystic board got
there completely garbled.

        MultiMail can open both packets.

        What would be the difference between them?

Flavio
