That's odd... to me anyway.  I use netmail extensively and have recieved
more direct netmails in a month than you have since 1994 :) IMO, netmail,
especially direct, is one of the most under utilized features
of fidonet these days.  I also think that the direct capabilities of
netmail make it superior to e-mail and that if presented as it should have
been before fidonet declined as it did that "fidonet netmail"
could have been a commonly known term these days, and widely used.
