IMHO this infers no ability to of 'linpac' to 'receive and store' messages/mail. "... 8.4 Mail client This application allows full screen message editing and browsing. It provides the frontend to mail exchange utilities. Mail client is started by the :MAIL command. After the program is started the H key shows the operating instructions. ..." IMHO, this works with '8.3' to send/receive mail/messages with a F6FBB packet BBS. 'linpac' seems to be a 'terminal' emulation program and does not contain inherent mail/message store/receive capability. 3s, Chuck
