PE> Hi Bob. On 1/12/94 you sent two netmail messages to yourself.

  Yair... I've fixed it.  I modified Brenton's TinyPoint batch files
to compress the 00000000.pkt into 00000000.mo0 and I missed a few
things. TinyPoint is more devious than a carton of Machiavellis.

 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
 PE> destination, so your password has probably be compromised.

  AaaaAAARGGH! Does the system do that?

  I'm still rewriting QWK2PKT, and that's one of the things I was
going to fix: let it find "To:" anywhere on the first two lines, and
then check that what followed was in the right "xxx:xxx/xxx" format,
before it started making its own arrangements.

  I still can't believe how stupid QWK and PKT formats are. I'm amazed
it works at all.

Regards,
Bob
