As of yesterday, I called in (again) to SW Bell in this regard, to 
see about cleaning things up.. there was no immediate improvement 
when the difficulties escalated a month ago, and I called them at 
that time, but much more recently I have noted "some" reduction in 
frequency of these symptoms.

AFAIK, same place I left the one that did get answered.. gotta say 
that the overall setup at the support BBS is fairly awkward compared 
to privately run BBS' and after uploading the pre-written query, the 
offer to "SAVE" might not have been seen, but I would have been look-
ing for it -- this go-round online, I have two years of experience 
at Fido messaging & BBS-usage (added to prior period of online time 
I have a total of well over four years of using BBS's now).

NOPE!  Same thing happened this time as last, when you exceeded the 
line count your software or mailer program would send as one post -- 
any second part never got here!
