subject: Question about QWK on other BBS systems.

I was wondering how other BBS QWK programs handle generating QWK packets
when there are large amounts of messages?  Do you have the option to set
"Download messages no older than xx days old"?  Does your QWK
program handle downloading hundreds of thousands of messages without
bombing?

Just wondering.  It seems the internal QWK in WWIV handles generating QWK
packets fine, no matter how many messages.  For whatever reason, WWIVMail
crashes when it goes over 90,000 or so messages.  

Since I don't have the source, I have no way of fixing this.  

So, I have it disabled and anyone wanting to use QWK on my BBS must use the
//QWK option (internal WWIV QWK).
