    MvdV> Hello Ken,   
      
    MvdV> On Sunday June 10 2018 21:33, you wrote to Dallas Hinton:   
      
    KJ>> If you are using the echos for mail, the mail portion of V6 was never   
    KJ>> functioning correctly to begin with in any of the realease (this wa   
    KJ>> mentioned by Bob when I took it over, and also reviewing the code)   
      
    KJ>> I have been completely re-writting the Mail tossing portions of this,   
    KJ>> but have been concitration more on teh file tossing first.   
      
    MvdV> IMNSHO adding a mail tossers to Allfix was a mistake.   
    MvdV> There are a number of good tossers around for all current   
    MvdV> OSs. There is enough choice, Fidonet does not need yet   
    MvdV> another tosser.   
      
    MvdV> A Good File manager is another story. Over the years I   
    MvdV> have been looking for a suitable replacement for Allfix,   
    MvdV> mainly because I want to get rid of the 16 bit stuff and   
    MvdV> I did not find one that satisfied my needs.   
      
    MvdV> I would say drop the mail tosser in Allfix. Only the   
    MvdV> Swiss love Swiss Army knives. Working on the tosser will   
    MvdV> dilute your time and energy and at best it will be more   
    MvdV> of the same. Go for the file manager. Allfix is an   
    MvdV> excellent file manager. What I think most of what remains   
    MvdV> of Fidonet is waiting for is Windows and Linux versions.   
      
   That would be my first priority is the file tosser/manager. It was a great   
   product, and I beleive we can make it the best again, and get it back to where   
   it should be at.   
      
   Ken   
    MvdV> My 2 cents...   
      
      
    MvdV> Cheers, Michiel
