 AI> I didn't know about any offline ones, can you point those out to me?

you didn't know there were specs for QWK, QWKE, and BW?

QWK:
  http://textfiles.com/programming/qwk.txt
 
https://web.archive.org/web/20080925223302/http://www.bsdg.org/SWAG/MAIL/0025.P

QWKE:
  ftp://vert.synchro.net/main/BBS/qwke.txt

BW:
  http://help-site.com/local/BWSTRUCT.TXT


the bottom of http://multimail.sourceforge.net/ also has links for OMEN and
SOUP packets... in fact, it may be the better place to get these specs... as
for actual source code implementing them, i don't know... it is possible that
there is some out there but...

then there's the OPX offline mail format... not much support for it which i
think is due to its history... i haven't found a "spec" for it other than some
C code...

 AI>>> That one was a QWK reply in QWKE mode than I always use here. This
 AI>>> on is a standard QWK. I can already see it's a little less happy so
 AI>>> I am going back into QWKE mode.. :)

 ml>> you should try BW mode ;)

 AI> I can't do that with mystic since it only supports QWK. I have seen
 AI> the idea floated and I like that idea myself but I don't know where or
 AI> if it stands on the todo list of Mystic but I know it is a long list..

i'm surprised that BW wasn't added at the same time that QWK and QWKE were
added... especially since it is more modern and less restrictive than
QWK/QWKE...
