      When you prepare a document, you will NEVER see the errors on first   
    glance. But, someone else will spot the error(s) right off!! My late   
    wife and Co-Sysop, even though her eyesight was poor, ran her display   
    in 640x480 resolution (you could do that years ago), and she'd find   
    errors in the bulletins, etc.   
      
    MD> I'm going to look into MultiMail and see if it fits my needs.  It's   
    MD> been years since I did QWK.  Thanks for that suggestion.   
      
      I don't remember which QWK reader I first used, but for several years,   
    I used OLX (Offline Express), made by the same company that did SLMR   
    (Silly Little Mail Reader). They don't support OLX or SLMR anymore, and   
    those only work with 16-bit or 32-bit OS's...they will NOT work under a   
    64-bit OS.   
       
      MultiMail is an offline mail packet reader for Unix / Linux, MS-DOS,   
    OS/2, Windows, macOS, and other systems, using a curses-based interface.   
    It supports the Blue Wave, QWK, OMEN, SOUP and OPX formats.   
      
      MultiMail is free, open source software, distributed under the GNU   
    General Public License.   
      
      You can get the latest version at:   
      
      https://wmcbrine.com/mmail/    
      
      I set up a separate file area on the BBS for it. Also, I changed the   
    internal editor to Notepad++, as more often than not, Notepad with   
    Windows 11, would constantly go back to a "Settings" page...and I had   
    already set what I wanted.   
       
      You could still open Notepad in another window to copy stuff from   
    another textfile, then paste it into Notepad++ (I did with the text   
    from the documentation for MultiMail, to show what it ran on).    
         
      I also prefer to answer my messages via QWK Mail, rather than online;   
    as I can reply at my leisure...never mind that I can do "tagline research"   
    (NOT stealing) .   
       
      Another difference between OLX and MultiMail is the length of taglines.   
    MultiMail allows for at least 78 characters...with OLX, you're limited to   
    70.

   ... What do you mean QWK?? It took me over an hour to read and reply!!
