   I'm using the DOS version of MultiMail, the Windows version of MM uses   
   Notepad.   
      
   I opened Notepad and tried entering a Alt Number and saw nothing show up   
   on the screen as You said it would.

   I quit using SLMR when I learned that MM showed ALL of the lines in long   
   BBS messages.   
   I liked using SLMR but it doesn't display all of every BBS Message.   
   A 152 line message is O.K. with SLMR, anything the writer writes after that   
   isn't shown.   
      
   Does OLX end messages as SLMR does?   
   Didn't both Programs come from the same Company.   
      
   I also liked MM being able to save Taglines longer than 57 characters.   
   I noticed when I used SLMR that Taglines in messages longer than 57 had   
   the end of them cut off when I Added them to SLMR's TAGLINE.MR file.   
      
   I have had a problem using MM when Mike Powell sends a message to Me in   
   a local echo on His BBS.   
   I then use SLMR to read His message to me when I get a .QWK packet   
   containing one of those messages.   
      
   Otherwise I'm happy using MM, I occasionally use MM WIN when I want to   
   C&P some text into a message that I'm writing.   
      
   I've tried the Sempoint reader for awhile, but went back to using MM   
   (and SLMR occasionally) to read messages in .QWK packets.
