   Most likely you were using the "new" releases past Y2KA2.   
      
   I totally agree that the most trivial of problems never really got fixed   
   properly. The focus by the developer at the time was on trying to compete with   
   Searchlight and Mystic with light-bars everywhere. I think V110 or V120 still    
   has serious problems. Even the versioning for awhile was overtly confusing.   
      
   It was like, V110 or V101 or whatever it was, it cannot toss Echomail    
   reliably, but the author felt it was more important to add light-bars to the    
   message screens rather than fix the fundimental bugs in the tosser.   
      
   The other bizarre "feature" was when he changed the structure of the main   
   configuration, thus rendering all of the many cool 3rd-party stuff obsolete   
   instantly.   
      
   I remember I had a few disagreements with that developer on the direction of   
   Renegade at the time, till I just said to hell with it and stuck with Y2KA2. I   
   have the source code and am quite capable of fixing any problems myself.
