   That is correct.  SLMAIL was never updated to be y2k compliant.  This   
   viamail has now become interesting and quick google searches didn't find   
   much on it.  Do you have it on your board?  I tried the addr in the tag   
   line, but that went to a wildcat board with no File access on first call.   
      
   I was working with a guy back in the 95-97 timeframe for something better   
   than SLMail for Searchlight, but not sure what ever became of that   
   project since I moved across the country and shut down the BBS in 97.    
   SLMail was always a pain.  Frank never thought much of the FTN networks,   
   so really didn't put in the effort to make it work well and Pat's sole   
   purpose was to sell more RIP tools, so SLMail remains the bane of my   
   existance. :)  I would like to checkout that software and see if there's   
   a good mail solution in there,
