   Not quite sure on how to answer.  Although I suspect lots of folks don't   
   realize that the Panda virus protection still has actual support for OS/2, it   
   does.  So told me you have to carefully huddle with them to do that. As well.   
   you have to participate in the Windows world for interface to Panda for   
   Windows too.  The special support for OS/2 special relationships is   
   synchronized with whatever support you have for Windows.   
      
   In my case, as I have ABSOLUTELY kept my word not to ever normally use any   
   form of Windows software since the masssive over 1,250,000 document US Federal   
   Court case in the 1970-1980 era and can never have an inbound voice telephone   
   normal phone line, 'we' still need to do security and whatever research on   
   certain new and changing telephone telecommunications equipment for all of us.   
   That wound up being among other things, as for me, MajicJack.   
      
   As well, since we have to go BACKWARDS to dis and dat for the Windows mess,   
   that still has to be to Windows XP here since MajicJack as well as tons of   
   other stuff absolutely has to cover Windows XP as well. Let's not get started   
   on how much banking and other hugely worldly important stuff still MUST be run   
   on it.  Anyway.   
      
   In the case of my work and needs, the Windows interface for everything   
   absolutely MUST NOT involve Email and cannot at all be involved with any Email   
   conversation with Panda.  Thus all the communication has to be with OS/2. but   
   the Windows protection for, say, normal Panda is the now latest 2015 version.    
   Over some two years of this research work, 'we' have discovered a really large   
   bunch of Windows virus and malware junk.  The latest was a major infection   
   issue that involved the update from Panda 2014 to 2015 tools.  I got all that   
   out of the way and was able to eventually recover the whole WIN XP3 system   
   cleanly from interesting malware issues.  The test work is working fine now.    
   However, the standard Panda Email that comes forward to 'register' the 2015   
   product appears to be bound to what is 'base64' code which contains data the   
   operator is supposed to read and work with to use.  But I can't 'visualize'   
   that in OS/2.  As well, for ABSOLUTE safety I MUST use PLAIN TEXT Email   
   normally and you should NEVER use Netbios Over TCP-IP driver operations with   
   OS/2 as 'we' discovered more than 20 years ago.   
      
   I have numerous Email tools for OS/2 that I maintain to research this and   
   that.  But have never moved into the base64 messages in Post Road Mailer,   
   PolarBar, PMMail and do NOT use any of the Seamonkey stuff for Email at all.    
   Yes, some of my daily Email notices for serious economic and world trouble   
   news and data have now also moved to base64.  However they are not critical   
   here.  But I need to see what I have to possibly accomodate in PLAIN TEXT   
   email for going forward security stuff here in OS/2 to help carry all of us up   
   further in the more and more risky telecommunications upward swoosh.   
      
   It ain't over yet for all us humanity.  But it's getting closer, sadly. As I   
   heard Charlie sing the first time he ever sang "Vincent" in public on New   
   Year's Eve of 1968 in Hampton, Iowa;   
      
       Stary, stary night.   
         Amber fields on violet haze.   
       Painted by the Artist's loving hands.   
      
          ......   
      
       They are not listening still,   
         Perhaps they never will.
