   For a time I was getting Netmails from at least a dozen Sysops about it,    
   mostly Mystic Sysops who wanted a "real mailer" over what comes out of the box   
   with that software.   
      
   It started off very straightforward but the 10% that is missing is the code    
   for the D'Bridge editor when it comes to editing/changing/moving messages,    
   etc.... things that are not exactly straightforward as it seems a record in a    
   database must be deleted, along with its indexes then created again.... all    
   the threading and linking must match perfectly...... kludge-lines stored    
   seperately for some inexplicable JoHo-disciple reason.... Just A Mess.   
      
   I must be very careful what I say because there are at least two Professors   
   who may chime-in and ask me why I just don't use an API or library unit to do   
   this, as if I just got my Pascal compiler yesterday.
