Do you know why it doesn't support QWK?  (Seems strange to me... also, I
thought that was what some other boards are using, with QWK, but I could
be mistaken.)

So SX doesn't really do QWK packets?  Only its native ones?  So one
would have to do netmail only in SX packets to do it offline?

Which would give the option of replying in our Bluewave readers, but
then one would have to export the reply to a text file, ready to upload
into the editor while online.  A work-around, to be sure, but I guess
better than nothing if one were replying to an echomail message in
netmail to keep it more private.  :)

At the moment, I can easily send netmail from my primary bbs, using BW
to generate QWK packets...  but I'm always on the alert to make sure
that I have backup capabilities... :)
