    Greetings All,Ok, so I am using BinkD, husky
    and golded for a point off my Mystic BBS. Everything I tho
    ught was working now except I have discovered that peoplecan
    t send my point netmail. I thought it was working because between my
    point and my bbs it does, areafix etc. I have even sent a test email from bb sto point no problems. I have sent netmails from point to o
    ther recipientsand they have received and replied, but I did
    not receive them on eithersetup.Thoughts?

    please don't post in here in ANSI... this is a text medium... this is true
    for most all fidonet areas, too...

    i didn't even know who wrote this until i replied because your ANSI code sequences overwrote my displayed message header...

    Hi! Rick,

    It looked to be more than a sig. There ain't no 'greetings' on this note of yours, which was about all I could decipher on that previous one. IAC, thanks.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    ... I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

    Well, for everyone else too. Thanks. :-)

    Yep. Although Multimail can view ANSI fine, the problem comes when trying to reply - anything quoted is full of ANSI broken ANSI escape sequences and pretty hard to read. :) As a result, I tend not to respond to anyone asking for help in ANSI, because I can't quote in a meaningful way. :/


    ... Isn't "Half Duplex" just an apartment?

    thanks but note that it was the entire message, too... the message body had a home cursor sequence and set all of the message body to yellow text...

    i hope you saw my link to the screen shot i took of a reply to your post... the
    ANSI codes in your post still overwrote my message header in that reply... plus
    you helped turn up a bug that we're taking care of so that's a plus on the one hand ;)
