Hello Paul

Peter is picking up his mail from my system (I think), whenever he is
online setting up the BBS with files etc. He will probably continue to do
so for a while, at least until he gets the QWK door and the WILDCAT tosser
working.

I decided not to collect Avtech from you, when I discovered how much
rubbish that I didn't want to read was in there. I was paying long distance
charges to receive messages that contained 18% to 25% garbage.

It would be very helpful for anyone calling long distance, if you had some
sort of twit filter at your end, (caller configurable), that removed all
unwanted messages from any conference, as the messages were packed into the
callers mail packets.  This could be a big saving in the callers telephone
charges, as he would only receive the messages he wanted to read.

Is this possible with an existing program, or could something be designed
along those lines ???

Christian
