Dunno if that's the case. He runs the DOS version of MultiMail under
Windows if I have understood it correctly. Why he doesn't use QEdit that
I know he has is beyond me.

ml> FWIW: in this system, i can't enter any codes (above or below 128)

Since my early CP/M days I haven't encountered such a limit.

Have a nice day,

Holger
