Yeah, I've used Mystic, and I dont miss it's message reader. I dont think its way better, but maybe it's different.

I like Synchronets message handling - I get an alert when I'm online (or logging on) that somebody sent me a message, which is cool - and then when I scan all messages to me, I can read that message without affecting my last read pointers. (That was something I didnt like about Mystic, although I think I heard there was away around that now.)

Like somebody said I think, there are pros and cons to each offering, and I've tried a few, an pretty happy with SBBS - enjoying hacking the JS at the same time (when I get a chance).
