    ml> the JAM files for FMAIL_HELP were created on my main system back    
    ml> 17 Sep 1994 and there's only 75 messages in it in the last 730 day   
    ml> period...   
      
    ml> so i took a chance and posted my question(s) in a seemingly dead    
    ml> echo and crossed my fingers...   
      
    WvV> The sourceforge page has been mentioned since march 2008 a couple    
    WvV> of times. I see that you posted around that time in this area. So    
    WvV> you could have known about it...   
      
   yes, that was then... i didn't remember it until i went back looking on my   
   main system... i would not have been reminded if those messages had been   
   purged, either... thankfully there was a problem (lack of disk space) that   
   caused them to not be...   
      
    ml> did you get my other two or three posts?? this one you answered    
    ml> was the last of the ones i sent within minutes of each...   
      
    WvV> Yes I got them. But it would require me to find some time to look    
    WvV> into these matters, and give you an answer with substance. ;)   
      
   ok, thank you ;)   
      
    WvV>> https://sourceforge.net/projects/fmail/   
      
    ml> thanks for confirming that ;)   
      
    WvV> Maybe Scott can add the link to his monthly post, that would help    
    WvV> the readers of this area...   
      
   i hadn't thought about that...   
      
    WvV>> See the readme's.   
      
    ml> you mean the ones buried in the source tree?   
      
    WvV> I wouldn't call it buried. They are in a doc directory, so easy to   
    WvV> spot... ;)    
      
   yeah... what i meant by "buried" was they are not linked on the main page nor   
   any other... i went thru every page, even that wiki thing, and finally there   
   was no choice but the source tree...   
      
    ml> i have read those and they are the reason i posted my message in    
    ml> here in the first place... what confuses me is that other    
    ml> documentation is the same as it ever was and only carries    
    ml> folkert's name as well as talking about registration being    
    ml> required for certain features... based on that, [...]   
      
    WvV> These registered functions weren't changed in that release. I    
    WvV> didn't touch the manual at all, just added the ReadMe.GPL.txt.   
      
   ahhh...   
      
    WvV> But I agree with you the archives with the binaries are a bit   
    WvV> lean. That could be inproved in a later release.   
      
   i understand... thanks! :)
