  Yeppers! there is another Windows Mailer you may want to check out!
  Check out "BeeMail", at :
       http://www.beemail.com

  I run BeeMail and DOS Max and Windows Excalibur BBS also here under BeeMail 
and right now under Win95 and am working on switching the system over to 
WINNT 4.0, as we have 95' and NT set up as a duel boot and will have it 
switched soon I hope.  (OH! yea! that right up there, You CAN! run DOS and 
WINDOWS BBS's at the same time with BeeMail.) as a matter of fact if you have 
the HD space you can run as many BBS's as you want and have space for under 
BeeMail.))
  And BeeMail has a lot of VERY GOOD points about running it with NEW things 
being added as we type this. So check it out and see what you think. You can 
get a DEMO Version from the address above to check out the BeeMail Windows 
Front End Mailer.  I (Snuffy), think you will be very surprised at what all 
it will do for you.

    For win95' use the winfos and use the winfosnt for Winnt. Very simple set 
up for those.
 VL>         Any help, suggestions, or tips, please pass them along.

  OH! it is a little work and all with the aboved mentioned set up but since 
you say you have ran a BBS now for 3 yr. well you know there is ALWAYS! 
something to do, fix, change, add.  Ha! Ha!  B ^)
