QWK offline mail bundles transferred via email to each user... to get an
account, you send him the particulars needed and he sets it up... then you do
QWK mail from there adding/removing areas, reading/writing messages, etc all
using email transfers... you get a blahblah.qwk in your email, save it to disk,
fire you your QWK reader... any replies are put into a blahblah.rep bundle
which you then email back where it is processed by and imported into the BBS
message areas... from there, normal FTN ops take over and he polls his link(s)
to send/receive FTN mail...
