It wouldn't take you any longer than it would've for you to determine
that it does support netmail formats in the first place.

 AS> system has, on close examination, about 20 OLR's,

We were only discussing about the OLX TD that you tell me has QWK
netmail formatting.  The other 19 don't :-)

 AS> 20 OLR's, what I'll do is package the

Not interested.

What I'm looking for is a little bit more information from you
regarding how OLX TD handles the QWK netmail formatting.

I made a blanket claim that QWKRR is the only QWK reader on any
platform with automatic netmail formatting facilities. You disputed
this and even named OLX TD as having similar routines.

You are now backing down by claiming "not enough time" and "over 20
different OLR's"

I'm *not* asking that you wade through a pile of doc's for some sort of
"hidden" feature because this feature has been on the "highly
desirable" list among IBMers for years. I take great pride in being
able to tell beemers (etc) that us C128 users have had this feature for
almost 2 years.

Obviously when you come along to tell me that QWKRR is no longer unique
in this regard I'm going to want more info. Equally obvious is the fact
that if you know that OLX TD has such a feature then you would at least
know how to set up and access it.
If you don't know this then I can only assume that you jumped in and
spoke without knowing the facts (and we all know that writers don't do
this don't we?) 

The way I see it now is that you have three alternatives.

1. Admit you spoke too soon, and that you are mistaken about OLX
   (I'll accept your apology for the concern you have given me at the
    same time).

2. Let me know how OLX determines what format to use, and possibly how
   many different formats it "knows".

3. Pretend that you never saw this message and hope I drop the thread.

Cheers
Rod

PS. See, I told you that you're gunna regret speaking out on this one:-)
