  It's what you like, Keith. I like Bluewave, after trying Robomail,
OLX, SLMR, and several others that made so much impression that I
don't even remember them... but I must admit I have never tried a PKT
reader.

  My only problem with QWK and BlueWave is netmail, and my version of
REP2PKT will be pensioner-friendly.

  I've decided that if I find a "To:" anywhere in a message, followed
by a set of numbers in the xxx:xxx/xxx.xxx format, then I'll assume
it's netmail and send it. If I don't find a "To:" in a netmail message
I'll default to a names list to get the address, and failing all that,
I'll send the message to myself. I reckon this might solve my problem.

  And besides, I paid $40 for BlueWAve.

Regards,
Bob
