   a little too modern for me i think.. lol. i prefer the original message reader   
   as well. though that's partially because the fancier one doesn't detect screen   
   height so you're stuck with 80x25 minus header&footer height.   
      
   i think it'd be cool if it still operated the same way, but the header was   
   included in the scrolled text.. it's nice to pan around but i don't need the   
   header all the time and would like it to scroll away to make room for text. in   
   a sense the fancy scrolling reader would become the plain one and the only way   
   you'd know it wasn't is by using the arrow keys..   
      
   i've always despised line editors for messages though.. the full screen editor   
   is just about as bog standard as you can get ;) and mystic's is quite nice..   
   though it too suffers the 80x25(or 24) fate.   
      
   i duno, did a bit of a rant there lol. basically offline readers do all that   
   same stuff i'm calling "modern" and i've used those quite a bit too. but the   
   bbs interfaces themselves have gotten SO NICE! :)
