Address       was with AT&T.       At least I was paying less for phone/internet than I had been on the L/L       account               I started using SLMR but switched to MultiMail DOS when I noticed long messages       got cut off after IIRC 153 lines, PLUS long Taglines got cut off too when saved       to the TAGLINE.MR file.              I had noticed the long length messages and long Taglines were in post by users       who used MultiMail, so I d/l MultiMail DOS , tried it out and stuck with it.              I am 'thinking' when I used SLMR it had a option to Paste the Clipboard into a       message.       SLMR used EDIT as a message editor and I learned that I could Open another       session of EDIT , Write or Paste something from Notepad I copied from, and       paste it in the second copy of EDIT, do what I wanted to modify and add to it,       then highlight and Copy what I wished to Paste in the SLMR EDIT window and Save       that contents so SLMR could put it in a .REP file.              I do the same with MultiMail DOS and also on occasion when needed with       MultiMail Windows        I don't know if I wrote more than 153 lines so I will quit my Advertisment.       Ed       --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 304 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
