ahh, yeah... i don't recall all of its processing quirks, though... sad
since i ran it for so many years... the seenby stripping on interzone
echomail, i do remember... that should be an option... toby is still around
but i don't know if he can set up the original development environment any
more to fix the bugs... i think RL has a firm grip on him, too...

 AI> Change is brewing there but it hasn't happened yet.

it off.
