 I was tempted to go with Binkd, my eventual plan is to get the BBS
 off of Windows and onto a Linux BBS. Either would have worked, but I
 flipped a coin one weekend - literally.  :)

I'd given Mystic serious thought; at the time Synchronet didn't have a
mailer or tick manager. What's keeping me on Synchronet now is years
worth of echomail in Synchronet's message bases. I'd hate to lose that
history.
