Hello Michael,

11 Jul 15 10:21, you wrote to me:

There's still a lot of telnetable BBSes around that you can connect to.  If 
you had a SSH client, you could connect directly using an encrypted connection 
to my BBS.  However, for that, we can discuss that somewhere else more 
appropriate.

 ML> if you promise not to make too many improvements at once!

I am tweaking the actual BBS source code with my limited knowledge of C.  I've 
already added in one feature (the ability to show a particular display file 
upon login since you know my penchant for putting up ANSI holiday displays). 
Right now, I'm working on trying to figure out how to pack message areas by 
date, which is an oft-requested feature that only Telegard BBS had.  I'm not 
wanting to do massive feature creep with MBSE, just add a few features that 
are very handy.

MultiMail can read several offline mail formats, including QWKE and SOUP.  
It's also portable code which means it'll run on damn near anything, unlike 
the original BW read.

Very true.  I'm biased: PET Dairy's headquarters is here in Johnson City.
