yep...

ahhh, yeah... i used to call it the ART-family of mailers... couldn't remember if it was ART or RAT earlier :lol:

 Ol> AFAIK development has stopped for all three some time ago.

i used to follow them on sourceforge... at least, i used to follow someone on there that had the code to all of them... i had the code, at one time, too... was going to port it to freepascal but ran into a few problems and then real life kicked in and got in the way... i just haven't been back to try porting any of them again...

switching from one to another was just a matter of dropping the new binary in place... the config files were compatible, AIR... before my vista box shat the bed and ruined the sheets, i used to test all three of them on one of my point systems...

i was well into translating the russian chm help files to english, too... still had a way to go in them, though... ran into some translating problems with one site (it disappeared i think?) and had to switch to using another one... that meant doing one paragraph at the time instead of a whole page at the time... oh well...
