yep, there's quite a few folks using it... you won't find them in the
admin/arguing areas, though... they are mostly users of traditional BBSes...

the last version from the '90s before the author had a really bad accident is
what's currently available... it requires a patch to handle a Y2K problem but
other than that, it works well even though it cannot be registered without
using a (hacked??) keygen...

 AT> Does anyone happen to know how well it works with Mystic BBSs?

i don't think that mystic does BW packets (yet?) but it does do QWK which
bluewave can work with...

with all that said, if you don't want to dance the BW dance, there's always
multimail which is still being developed and has binaries for several
platforms as well as being open source so you can compile it on your machine
if you desire such... multimail does BW, QWK and several other formats of
offline mail...
