It works well and generally       looka better formatted than using the BBBS online message ediror as I am now.              > Personally I think the idea requires a total overhaul.              It could use that but there isn't much going on in the way of development in       Fidoland anymore. There was a time when FTN was the place to be but that is       long gone now, unfortunately.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-7        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 134/100 153/135       SEEN-BY: 153/143 148 151 153 757 7001 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 134 206 300 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 664 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1 266/512 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 291/111 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/267 280 384 410 414 418       SEEN-BY: 633/420 422 509 2744 712/848 770/1 902/26 3634/12 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 153/757 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
