Keymail is much better than it was in the DOS days. But, to tell the truth, I like pine better than either Keymail or Outlook Express.
I've often said it might be a good idea of the BN had Keyterm, like the Keysoft program did in the DOS days. Then, I could use Pine with my Unix shell. That would solve the problem of downloading messages and reading html and accessing a web site. Keyterm would also help people transfer stuff from one BN to another. Another option BN users could try would be to use a web-based email system. There again, the problem of downloading would disappear. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
