I really liked it, it had a lot of neat features, but I found it unreliable. For example, whenever I clicked on another application to bring it to the front (in windows), Sempoint would give me a runtime error and crash. As well I found that about 50% of the time it would corrupt the packets - each of my areas would show up with the same messages in them. I tried reinstalling it...deleting my BBS and re-adding it...everything I could think of, but eventually it became clear that it was unreliable and I had to get rid of it. So, I'm back using BlueMail but I really woud like a Windows application to do offline mail with. - HeatSink MFWIC; The HeatSink BBS Calgary, Alberta, Canada, eh? --- MBSE BBS v0.61.4 (GNU/Linux-i386)* Origin: telnet://TheHeatsinkBBS.ca -=Calgary,AB,Canada =- (1:134/703) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 134/703 10 3613/1275 123/500 106/2000 633/267 |
