   mystic uses JAM (and currently SQUish) bases... the only problem is having   
   golded read mystic's message area definitions... it does work if one uses an   
   areas.bbs, though...

   that's if one is downloading QWK packets... i think Alan is talking about raw

   QWK origin lines are different than FTN origin lines... something about the   
   QWK node's QWK name as the ID... QWK networks also used to have special   
   routing stuffs for private messages in the message areas instead of them   
   having to be private in netmail like FTN does...

    KR> Yes. That can be defined by goldeds random system. The standard config

   so when starting a message reply or original, there's no way to edit the From   
   name and From address?? i haven't tried but i'm a long time TimED user and all   
   we do there is to arrow UP or shift-TAB to move back through the fields and   
   select from the choice box that comes up...
