    I noticed you use MultiMail. Why do you prefer it over logging in to your BBS to read messages?

    I've used multimail with other BBS mail but not my own.

    Have you used readers on Linux? Anything besides MultiMail.

    I know your using it on Win; but I use Linux for my BBS and daily stuff unless I'm on work computer which is MacOs.

    Anybody else have comments/recommendations in using MultiMail?

    ...It's too bad ignorance isn't painful.

    It has taken me some time to get the hang of using Multimail, but now
    that I have been using it for a while it is starting to grow on me.
    One reason why I like it is that I can use my editor of choice for
    message replies.

    From what I can tell so far the only thing I have found challenging to
    do in Multimail is replying to a sender privately via NetMail.
    From what I have experienced the only way I can do this is to copy down
    the sender information out of the message and go to the e-mail area and
    fire up a fresh message to them.
    I do not seem to have the option to replying to a message from an echo
    itself privately.
