Well, this can LinKT do too ;-). Very important. grin

We have mostly BayCom mailboxes and some DPBox systems. With unproto
list you have to keep your station running the whole day? Hmm.
Here people connect to the bbs, download the "checklist" (new mails)
and the terminal offers a list window in which you can select the
message you want to download and generates read commands (as LinKT
does).

Well, no it is not widely used yet, but we are trying to make it more
popular. I have to translate the spec before that will happen, I
guess ;-)

Yes, although we won't incorporate it, but we will make the utils
aware of our message handling system vjbox, send the patches to
the ax25-mails-utils' author. So the same utils can support both
programs.

Would be nice, indeed. But currently not planned (as far as I know).
