   yep, there's quite a few folks using it... you won't find them in the   
   admin/arguing areas, though... they are mostly users of traditional BBSes...   
      
    AT> Are there any big issues with it at the moment? I'm willing to use it,   
    AT> probably for Fidonet only. Where can I get the current version?   
      
   the last version from the '90s before the author had a really bad accident is   
   what's currently available... it requires a patch to handle a Y2K problem but   
   other than that, it works well even though it cannot be registered without   
   using a (hacked??) keygen...   
      
    AT> Does anyone happen to know how well it works with Mystic BBSs?   
      
   i don't think that mystic does BW packets (yet?) but it does do QWK which   
   bluewave can work with...   
      
   with all that said, if you don't want to dance the BW dance, there's always   
   multimail which is still being developed and has binaries for several   
   platforms as well as being open source so you can compile it on your machine   
   if you desire such... multimail does BW, QWK and several other formats of   
   offline mail...
