   Appreciate that reminder, though we have to remember much of that list is   
   historic and other than building a retro-setup, not current.

   Ummm... not always and again much documentation and even YouTubes are woefully   
   out of date.     
      
   When I set up my first personal mailer the documentation was arguably better,   
   and that was in the 1980's.   
      
    DC> Two that I know of offhand are WinPoint and OpenXP.   
      
   Wondering if some of the BBS packages also fuction well in a Point use case?   
      
   Appreciate the reply!   
      
   All best!
