Please be aware that I'm not responsible for any Fido-based distribution of
the files. I don't even know who puts them out there, and they don't tell
me when they're doing it. (I wish they would.)

But you don't have to come to the web site to find out when there's a new
version. The most reliable way is to sign up for the MultiMail Announce
List, which is an Internet email list where I post announcements about
MultiMail -- almost all of which are new version notices. An alternative is
SourceForge's file tracking system, which sends out an automatic email
notice when one of the "file modules" (e.g., MMDOS) is updated. You can
sign up for either or both of these at the web site.

Failing that, I post announcements to the following Fido echos: BLUEWAVE,
LINUX, UNIX, SHAREWARE, and of course, here in OFFLINE. I also post to the
Usenet newsgroups comp.bbs.misc, alt.usenet.offline-reader, and
comp.os.linux.announce, though the announcements in the last one typically
show up a few days late due to moderator lag. I upload files to SunSite and
Hobbes, as well as SourceForge. All other distribution is handled by
others, outside my control and mostly outside my knowledge.

Argh. I wonder on how many other boards that occurred? :-/

Still, it's good to know that they're talking about MultiMail. :-)
