Every form of messaging in existance other than a few Fido sysops.

Overkill, even moreso than squish or Jam based systems.  Seems Fido sysops
prefer bloatware for whatever strange reason.  :::sigh:::

You don't have to.  I have one box setup just to tack on the locally
useless binary information.  The rest is ascii so it isn't an issue.  It
works.  Already tested it, both echomail and netmail although at the moment
the node only does netmail.

By whom?  The FTSC?!?!?!?!?!  :::snicker:::

I won't hold my breath on that one.

I've been thinking about it but haven't tried yet.  Nobody I know uses it
at the moment.

Life is good,
Maurice
