   I actually have been looking at MultiMail. It's source code is readily   
   available. I was looking more in a standard matter uploading and downloading   
   packets over Telnet.  They only problem with that is that I've only found one   
   Terminal program in Android so far that handles XYZ modem type file transfers,   
   fTelnet, which I haven't yet been able to get to work properly on my phone.   
   But it is one of several mental projects.   
      
   I think the basic functionality relatively speaking would be easy enough to   
   port to Android. The main issue I think will be the user interface.

   So far, I'm looking at MultiMail, and a point software called JEDpoint. I have   
   no familiarity with JEDpoint itself, but it's source is Java, which many   
   Android apps are written in.   
      
   I think my main problem is I'm jumping around with ideas, and really, I need   
   to focus on one at a time.   
       
    CP>> I always liked the offline mail format.   
    MK> Which one?  Personally I'd pick the MSG format and save everyone a

   ahh, I misspoke. Not so much the format itself. More the functionality.   
   Between QWK and BW as a user, I didn't really have a preference.
