   That's something that I would like to see in the Android options. More   
   modular, to use a different text editor or a tagline manager or things like   
   that.   
      
   If I keep this up, I'm going to wind up planning an entire BBS solution system   
   for Android devices in my head.    
      
   Some of it seems relatively easy, if my programming abilities were up to speed.   
      
   Right now I've been finding whatever source codes I can to study and try to   
   figure out what is what.

   I think I understand that now. It's not something that I've thought of before,   
   but it is interesting.

   I always liked the offline mail format. But when I was using it, I never   
   really considered the technical aspects of it.
