For a time I was getting Netmails from at least a dozen Sysops about it, 
mostly Mystic Sysops who wanted a "real mailer" over what comes out of the box
with that software.

It started off very straightforward but the 10% that is missing is the code 
for the D'Bridge editor when it comes to editing/changing/moving messages, 
etc.... things that are not exactly straightforward as it seems a record in a 
database must be deleted, along with its indexes then created again.... all 
the threading and linking must match perfectly...... kludge-lines stored 
seperately for some inexplicable JoHo-disciple reason.... Just A Mess.

I must be very careful what I say because there are at least two Professors
who may chime-in and ask me why I just don't use an API or library unit to do
this, as if I just got my Pascal compiler yesterday.
