Nope, not plenty at all any more.  And of those that do, what makes you
think that they're at all interested in reading your multi-parters anyway? 
:)

Nope, I get out enough already, thanks all the same.  Should have said 2.1
TD above too, as 2.2 doesn't have the hard-coded 150-line limit.

Like you, I actually prefer the QWK message base, especially with a decent
editor like OLX 3.n, and if it wasn't for the on-line abortion of waiting
for the QWK mail to scan and pack, I'd go back to it tomorrow.  It's
actually the main reason I have Msged configured to work (and look) as near
as dammit to how OLX did here before I changed to polling.  I won't use
QWK2PKT either.

Regards, Bill
