Over the years I've tried many different OLMR programs.  Of course SLMR was the
standard back then but it was strictly DOS.  It does run well in a Window and
is still useful as Tom has demonstrated.  One of the best OLMR programs that
appeared for Windows (actually Win 3.0) was WinQwk written by an employee of
MS.  Later on I switched to CmpQwk which worked better in Win32 written
Windows.

But now as far as I'm concerned, the best way to do messaging is with a capable
NNTP program.  T-Bird for Linux and Agent for Windows.

Thought that would get your attention! :)

I thought you also were a fly fisherman?  No trout?

BTW, where is Jay lately?
