I saw the program on the board & am always ready to try a reader.  I
like the colour differentiation of quoted lines, etc, in the messages.
It seems to work really quickly.   I also like the the 'APPEND' for the
filesave on the screen.  Also it said that it will work in the 3 OSes I
presently use.  I also noticed it saves email addresses better.  I
haven't tested it yet if it would save an email address without a
netmail address.  That bothered me in MM.  I couldn't save an name
without an netmail pointer.

 (most WM> since duplicated in MultiMail) and some major bugs added.

One of the bugs is when I page down to find the most recent mail
packet, the 'list' splits in half vertically.  It's like the two
'halves' of the box can't keep up with each other.  Also the program
stopped with all the 'exception' stuff when I opened a largish packet.

It still doesn't bring up the address book on the email conference with
a qwk as it does in a Bluewave at the 'To' field or allow the option of
doing so.  This is a major problem as my BW board is having email probs
at the moment.  I have only a short term memory. :)

I also noticed that in one qwk board replying to my mail in the
'addressed to you' area, the reply shows as a reply in 'comment to
sysop' conference.

Do miss the sort.

I hope this answers your question.

Anon,
