Hi! mark,

In a message to Dale Shipp you wrote:

That's because one of the authorative reference sources, BinkleyTerm 2.60
Reference Manual (BT-user), uses the term "Continuous Mail" by preference.  To
whit,

     "Idea #3: Continuous Mail
             If you are already using a program that supports 'Crash Mail' then
             you understand a little of what Continuous Mail does.

             Continuous Mail differs from Crash Mail in a couple of areas.
             In other mailer systems, you would mark a message as 'Crash'
             meaning that you wanted this message to go out NOW. These mailer
             programs would shut down human caller access to the BBS and try
             like heck to get the message through.

             BinkleyTerm uses Continuous Mail, meaning that this is a message
             going to a system that can accept mail at any time of day.
             BinkleyTerm makes no frantic attempts to dial out, rather it will
             try and deliver the message between callers."

So, even the BSO reference knows that CM means "Continuous Mail".  Which is why
a lot of folks might know it by that idiom, after having evolved through use of
BinkleyTerm.  Indeed, we also know that we can 'crash' mail to those systems so
noted in the nodelist.

Cheers,
Paul.
