PE> Hi Bob. On 1/12/94 you sent two netmail messages to yourself. DM> It must get lonely with only his mum and mutt to talk to :-) ROFL! and it was even worse - that my second attempt. I sent 3 netmail to Brenton, two of which got trashed. So I sent them again, and the only one that got through was the one I sent right the first time! I got the other two back addressed to me! ROFL!! Fuck it! I gave up after that and talked to him in person. PE> While I'm here, Dieter, on 2/12/94 you sent a message with the PE> "To:" not starting in column 1, so it defaulted to a garbage DM> Fucking bullshit system. At least I can claim old age as an excuse for a brain that doesn't work. What's *your* excuse? I've nearly finished my pensioner edition of qwk2pkt (I wrote it in VB). It is *guaranteed* to send netmail. You just type "To:" anywhere, and if there are a set of numbers after it in the right format, it sends it netmail (even if you aren't in Netmail). If you *are* in Netmail, but you forget the "To:" it looks up a names list and addresses it correctly. The PVT tag is hardwired into the code, and if everything else fails, it sends it to yourself so no one knows what a fuckwit you are! I expect to sell millions! The problem is that my customers will probably send the cheque to the wrong address.
