   16 Dec 16 07:20, you wrote to me:   
      
    NB>>> Yeah, that's basically how it works. It's a full screen reader, and   
    NB>>> when you want to reply, you can hit "R" to reply to the message,   
    NB>>> which then would open up SlyDCTedit, SlyIceEdit, or whatever editor   
    NB>>> you have configured to use.   
      
    ml>> i think you're thinking of the digital distortion's message lister...   
      
    NB> No, I'm not. I'm specifically referring to DDMR, or Digital   
    NB> Distortion's Message Reader. Please just try it out, rather than   
    NB> assume you know what I'm talking about. :)   
      
   ok... we'll have to look and see if we can find it... the only digital   
   distortions stuff max has on her sbbs is slyedit... no ddml or ddmr...   
      
    ml>> slyedit has three start up modes, DCT, ICE or RANDOM... the message   
    ml>> lister thing is something separate and i don't find any indication of   
    ml>> it in Max's setup... the slyedit stuff is there and the docs do   
    ml>> reference the DDML but that's all i can find about it... AFAIK,   
    ml>> slyedit came with sbbs when Max first pulled it off the repo and   
    ml>> compiled it... i'm not aware of anything special done to acquire   
    ml>> it...   
      
    NB> The new message reader has the message lister built into it, However,   
    NB> it started out as a message reader, and evolved to incorporate some of   
    NB> his other separate mods now.   
      
   we'll see if we can find it... hopefully it is included in sbbs like slyedit   
   was so that it can/will be updated when an update from the sbbs repo is made...
