I am curious if other sysops are logging into their BBS's to read
echomail and such or are using an offline reader? If you are using a reader can you suggest one for me... If it matters I am using Windows 10...

Up until today I've always logged in locally. Started using Multimail today under Win 10 64. No problems so far. It uses your default text editor and wraps everything before upload . This will be the first
message I've quoted so it will be interesting to see how well it does. Just for shits and giggles I've
got notepad set around 80 columns and using word wrap.

I have been using BlueWave for at least 25 years to read my mail
offline, first as a user, then as a point, and now as a sysop. I
cannot imagine doing anything else. I will easily admit that with the advance in operating systems and their discarding of support for older
16 bit programs, it is more difficult now than it used to be. There
are solutions to that. There are also other offline readers that can
be used in the later versions of windows (and perhaps even linux). I think Multimail is one that I have heard mentioned.

Excellent! Is that all I need? What instuction did you use to get it going? I remember doing this 23 years ago, but for the life of me cant

Bluewave still works in DOSBox fine. But I use Multimail,which runs natively on several platforms.

True, and it also works in vDOS as well, maybe better. There is a
slight glitch in both having to do with updating the date/time stamp on
the QWK packet when it is read. I use BlueWave inside a virtual XP window, and there it does not have that flaw. I can agree that a
person new to offline might well do better with Multimail so as to not have to face the 16 bit in a 64 bit operating system problem. I am
just so used to Bluewave I do not want to switch.

Well, I just tried Bluewave and get the same issue. Synchronet unpacks
it and that's where it ends. Never get tossed into the Conference.....

I thought Bluewave had some sort of Y2k issue that caused issues.

never used it, so didn't research it much, but that is what I think I heard. Maybe the bbs is trashing it due to date error.

Your using TGWave! That door is simply awesome.
I found that when uploading more than 1 message all the messages would
get the same MSGID and get trapped as dupes upstream from me.
That was some years ago I tried it though. Does your version work OK?
It seems to, but now that you mention it I do see Fastecho complaining about a possible duplicate. Maybe that is happening to me. Maybe I
should you use it anymore. It does work well besides that though.

I was running a 486 DX2 66 at that time and I suspect that the author
who wrote
that door may have been on a slower computer so the issue never came
up.
If I remember right I uploaded 5 messages across a few areas. The first made it
out but the rest didn't.
