I used BlueWave for many years and moved to MultiMail at the year 2000
mark. If you are bound and determined to use BlueWave - you can. There is 
an echo devoted to BlueWave and related programs like MultiMail. The author
of MultiMail is available as well.

If you are bound and determined to run BlueWave, I suggest you install 
it in a FAT16 volume and use a set of patches from Dale Shipp. If your 
determination is less than this, MultiMail will be much less trouble.

This is often an error in setting up archivers although pathing
can be trouble as well. Give specifics and I'm sure you'll get help.

I use the Win32 version of MultiMail under WinXP SP-1. Works fine.
