Hello Robin,

I played with BeeMail for a little while. From what I remember, it was  
loaded with many Fidonet-specific features and tools. It just needed  
additional support to transfer packets over today's preferred transport:   
the internet.

But I decided very early on that I would not be happy using it for the  
long term.  The GUI design looked too old-fashioned Win9x-like. BeeMail's  
graphics did not look very good on my 1400x1050 laptop display.  So, I did  
not bother to invest much time on it.

I've narrowed down viable point-software to 3 programs. See:

However, your adventure to build the addtional support programs for  
BeeMail would be interesting should you decide to pursue it.
