   I was wondering if MultiMail had released a newer version of their DOS   
   or Windows program, so I looked and saw the latest version shown on their   
   page was v. 0.49 .   
      
   Since I've been using MM v. 0.50 for DOS or Windows that seemed funny to me   
   not to see any later version than v. 0.49 in their list.   
      
   I looked around some of the pages and saw a message William McBrine wrote   
   about a newer OS/2 version of MultiMail.   
      
   https://sourceforge.net/p/multimail/mailman/multimail-announce/   
      
   His message was posted on 2003-05-09 17:44:50 .

   I have seen You write about being comfortable with the MM version that   
   You've been using but I thought to write You about the newer version   
   in case You may want to investigate it for Yourself.   
      
   Now I'm going to go look to see when I D/L'd the 0.50 versions of MM.   
   Not seeing them on the Official Page has Me wondering.......
