If it wasn't for the fact that the "support" for it runs out I'd not       bother with the idea of upgrading.. I like the way my Mint works.              I'll have to look at MX or bite the bullet and go Ubunu, but will keep an eye       on LM just incase they fix this issue.              ... OK, I'm weird! But I'm saving up to become eccentric.       ___ MultiMail/Linux v0.49              --- Mystic BBS/QWK v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Communication Connection 1:120/457 (1:120/457)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 457 123/10 131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7001 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 220/80 90 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 310 424 426 452 550       SEEN-BY: 229/616 664 1016 1017 240/77 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12 5020/545       PATH: 120/457 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
