G-day William Mcbrine,

To get around any MMail<crashing out *.rep files> I use this option:

# Save replies after editing without prompting?
AutoSaveReplies: Yes
# AutoSaveReplies: No

ADDING. . . . . . . MMail has never crashed in all the time I've used
                    your excellent program first in DOS, now in WIN98.32

I'm now using Version: 0.38 with WIN98.32 with good results, also I do like
this NEW setting:

# Supress help messages (use more of the screen for content)
# ExpertMode: No
ExpertMode: Yes

This following Start.bat makes it easier to change the ~set-up~ for MMail
and I've also added some other Mail options for My use. . . . . . . . . .
